CAST


Octavius Robinson is desperately in love with Ann, whose father has just died. Her new guardians, Jack (the Revolutionist) and Ramsden (a soldier of the old guard), can't seem to agree on anything, and now the clouds of scandal are gathering over Octavius' sister, Violet. The only thing that's clear...is that things are about to get a lot more complicated.

At the turn of the last century, with the automobile in its infancy and the world on the eve of the age of flight, George Bernard Shaw used a backdrop of new technology and new ideas to tell the oldest tale of all: the elaborate dance of the sexes in search of love, marriage, and happiness--or at least some of the above.
