The players on stage are as skilled as any on a field.

First & third Saturdays at 8 pm, second and fourth Saturdays at 2 pm, Sundays at 2:00 pm | Jericho Arts Centre, 1675 Discovery Street Director Lauren Taylor Set Design Alison Green Costume Design Brodie Davison Lighting Design Ben Paul Stage Manager Maddy Woodley Reviewer Elizabeth Paterson A talented cast, a very funny play by a young and ebullient George Bernard Shaw and swift direction by Lauren Taylor all add up to make a delightful close to United Players' current season. But Shaw's laughter-inducing mix of wit and farce is mere sugar-coating for his more serious purpose, an examination of romanticism, idealism and pragmatism in love and war. Full review
