George Bernard Shaw's 'Heartbreak House' is thought-provoking, amusing and touching, with compassion for the foibles of mere mortals. The play is an exhilarating comic masterpiece.Comments
It's amazing how relevant and current Shaw's description of a civilization in decline remains almost a century after it was written. His descriptions of different personality archetypes and how they interact is still right on. The cast is wonderful. Phillip Boscoe as the Captain and Swoosie Kurtz and Laila Robbins as the two daughters are especially good. Roundabout Theater is now two for two. An auspicious beginning!
