Not only will we be offering some of Shaw’s most iconographic strong women, we’ll be bringing you plays examining the struggle for equal rights with two plays written by women in the early part of the 20th century, Elizabeth Robins and Rachel Crothers. As a bit of icing on the cake, we’ll return to Oscar Wilde to end the season with his ground-breaking look at women challenging society. Guest directors to be announced shortly.”

Now celebrating its 11th year, Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw made history in December 2009 as the first company ever to present performances of every one of Shaw's 65 plays (including full-length works, one-acts, and sketches). They are now also including plays by writers who most inspired Shaw to begin his playwriting career, including work by Chekhov, Ibsen, Wilde, Barrie, and Harley Granville-Barker, while continuing its new play development and educational programs.
