Widowers Houses
A play by BERNARD SHAW
Originally produced by the Independent Theatre Society in 1892. Shaw's first play. which treats of slum-landlordism in late Victorian London, and society's ignorance or complacent disregard of it, remains disturbingly cogent.
The action is set in Germany and London.
Produced by JOE BURROUGHS
