WIDOWERS' HOUSES

Network Three
on Network Three

A play by Bernard Shaw
Characters in order of speaking:
The action is set in Germany and London
Originally produced by the Independent Theatre Society in December 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.
Produced by JOE BURROUGHS
