Arms and the Man

By George Bernard Shaw

Produced by Classical Theatre Company

Role: Production Stage Manager

Arms and the Man follows Raina Petkoff and the idealistic view of war she holds until she shelters Captain Bluntschli, a practical Swiss mercenary who values survival over heroics. As misunderstandings and romantic entanglements unfold, the characters' illusions about love, courage, and social status are challenged by Bluntschli's realism. By the end, the play satirizes romantic ideals and shows that honesty, practicality, and genuine affection are more valuable than appearances and empty notions of glory.

Directed by John Johnston, who most recently directed the critically-acclaimed Othello for Classical Theatre Company.
