Performance Overview

Funny, fast-moving and sharply satirical, “Major Barbara” pits faith against fortune in a clash that’s as entertaining as it is provocative. When Salvation Army officer Barbara Undershaft reconnects with her wealthy father, an arms manufacturer, their opposing beliefs ignite a spirited battle over what it really means to do good.

As questions of charity, power and morality challenge audiences, George Bernad Shaw turns moral certainty inside out, delivering a witty, high-energy comedy where no idea goes unchallenged. "Major Barbara" is directed by School of Drama faculty member Tlaloc Rivas.
