George Bernard Shaw’s brilliant philosophical high comedy 'Androcles and the Lion' has graced the New York stage in various definitive star-studded classical revivals, most famously the historic 1938 Broadway production mounted at the Lafayette Theatre under the banner of the Federal Theatre Project. The fast-paced, textually rich political satire unfolds inside the blood-soaked arenas of ancient Rome, tracking a gentle Christian tailor who forms an unbreakable bond of mutual resilience with a wild lion, mocking imperial state metrics.
