Shaw's Women - Village Wooing/How He Lied to her Husband archiveEliza Doolittle, St Joan, Major Barbara - many of Shaw's female characters have become theatrical giants. But many of his lesser-known plays also feature sparkling females often overlooked, despite offering radically different and provocative personae. Here, Fringe stalwarts Jane Nightwork - returning to the TBT following hit seasons with Oedipus Retold and Making Dickie Happy - present two rarely-performed shorts exploring the breadth of Shaw's women. Village Wooing - Anything can happen on a cruise ship. When a reclusive upper class travel writer meets a chatty phone operator with a mission to marry him, he finds himself reluctantly drawn into conversation. From the high seas to the Wiltshire Downs, this cut-and-thrust dissection of a relationship, written 20 years after Pygmalion, is one of Shaw's most overtly socialist pieces. How He Lied to her Husband - A comedy of class, poetry and romance, this love triangle comes with a wry twist in the tail. ?Nothing in the theatre is staler than the situation of husband, wife and lover, or the fun of knockabout farce. I have taken both, and got an original play out of them.' So said Shaw about his sparklingly witty one-act play.
