About the Show

Helluva Theatre Company and Medicine Show Theatre Ensemble present Bernard Shaw's comic masterwork in a production that tries to put the fun in dysfunction.

Helluva Theatre Company's inaugural production seeks to challenge our assumptions about right and wrong, religion and money, class and privilege, morality and religion, the welfare state, and war and peace. On the heels of a bruising election cycle, when we've been presented with the truth as false and the false as true, this comedy about fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, ex-wives and estranged husbands, may be a more potent cocktail than ever.

Critic Reviews (1)

"Helluva Theatre Company - newly formed under the mission to produce plays from the traditional canon that aren't often seen - has ambitiously chosen George Bernard Shaw's 'Major Barbara' as its inaugural production. The dialogue-heavy, two-and-a-half-hour play set in 1906 was resurrected by Helluva Theatre in part for its parallels to our current societal conversation concerning the relationship between wealth and power (and the complex dilemmas of morality therein)."
