When Harry Trench (played by Dan Hoyle), a well-intentioned young doctor, falls in love with hot-tempered Blance Sartorius (Megan Trout), he never suspects that his prospective father-in-law's fortune is derived from ruthless schemes to exploit the poor. Can the young lovers' passion survive this fall from innocence? G.B. Shaw's breakout satire is as timely today as it was in 1892. "Few playwrights have Shaw's knack for making the confrontation with unpleasant truths so entertaining." -SF Chronicle "The perfect gift for that hard-to-please capitalist on your list." -East Bay Express

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
