It follows his lauded rediscoveries of Shaw’s other early plays Overruled, How He Lied to Her Husband, Candida, Misalliance, The Philanderer, and Widowers’ Houses.
Paul Miller directs in his final production as Artistic Director of the Orange Tree. Shaw’s delightful romantic comedy was one of his first commercial successes and remains enduringly relevant. When Louka, the servant of the family with a spirit and ambition all of her own, sets her sights on Sergius, the stage is set for an epic moral battle. Bluntschli’s coolly ironic good sense starts to seem more like the future. In 1925, he was recognized for his work with the Nobel Prize in Literature. Raina, a young woman with romantic notions of war and an idealized view of her soldier fianc, is surprised one night by a Swiss mercenary soldier seeking. Raina’s youthful love for Sergius, the swashbuckling fighting hero of the Bulgarian army, is challenged when she learns more of the realities of war. Arms and the Man is a comedy by George Bernard Shaw, whose title comes from the opening words of Virgils Aeneid, in Latin: Arma virumque cano ('Of arms and the man I sing'). In the midst of a bloody central European war, a chance moonlit encounter throws together an idealistic young woman and a Swiss mercenary with an unexpectedly realistic attitude to soldiering.
