Major Barbara (Roundabout Theatre Company)

George Bernard Shaw’s brilliant philosophical comedy masterpiece 'Major Barbara' received a spectacular, star-powered Broadway revival at the American Airlines Theatre in 2001 under the banner of the Roundabout Theatre Company, capturing multiple major Tony nominations. The textually rich drawing-room narrative centers on Barbara Undershaft, an idealistic Salvation Army major who battles corporate capitalism, tracking the explosive ideological war of words that ignites when her estranged father, a multi-millionaire armaments tycoon, arrives to challenge her faith. Directed by Daniel Sullivan, the production starred Cherry Jones and David Warner.
