This season’s playbill is full of secrets of both kinds, covering all the really interesting stuff – sex, money, politics and even murder! Shaw’s classic Mrs Warren’s Profession pits mother and daughter against one another as the secret of Mrs Warren’s past and the source of her daughter Vivie’s upscale upbringing is revealed. A newly discovered piece, Githa Sowerby’s The Stepmother, turns the popular notion of an evil stepmother on its head as we watch two daughters and their loving stepmother discover the treachery of their father and husband. An Inspector Calls, J.B. Priestley’s classic drama, takes an entire family’s hidden histories to a most shocking conclusion, and Lillian Hellman gives us a gloriously gothic family whose manipulations and machinations earn them the title of The Little Foxes. Secrets abound in A Little Night Music, Stephen Sondheim’s delightful meditation on loves lost and won, and a lost generation wrestles to discover who they really are in Terence Rattigan’s neglected jewel, After the Dance. And as for Ann-Marie MacDonald’s hugely popular Belle Moral – what or who is the secret in the attic? Let the notion of guilty secrets slide to not-so-guilty pleasures and simply revel in the deliciously manic world of Ferenc Molnár’s The President, soak in the music of Leonard Bernstein and a bohemian New York full of energy and dreams in Wonderful Town, and take advantage of an extra Sondheim treat – a concert version of Follies. And finally, enjoy Shaw’s hilarious discourse on the institution that creates all of the families above – Getting Married. All will be revealed in 2008 – come and be a part of it – and don’t keep it a secret!

AND MARY HANEY with Andrew Bunker, Moya O’Connell “While it wears the mantle of an ingenious and and Graeme Somerville technically flawless ‘mystery,’ Priestley’s play has become a classic because it is a truly surprising story of guilty secrets – both individual and collective – and
the great pains that people will take to hide them.” JM

“I WAS A GOOD MOTHER; AND BECAUSE I MADE MY DAUGHTER A GOOD WOMAN SHE TURNS ME OUT AS IF I WERE A LEPER.”
Shaw’s story of the ultimate test of a mother-daughter MRS WARREN’S PROFESSION relationship is one of his most enduring and JULY 6 TO NOVEMBER 1 FESTIVALTHEATRE best-loved plays. Mrs Kitty Warren has worked hard to provide for her daughter Vivie, to give her the By BERNARD SHAW genteel upbringing she never had. Now that Vivie is Directed by JACKIE MAXWELL Designed by SUE LePAGE about to embark on her own career, her mother decides Lighting designed by KEVIN LAMOTTE that it is time for her feminist daughter to finally learn the truth about her mother’s profession. The shocking MARY HANEY AND MOYA O’CONNELL with Andrew Bunker, Benedict Campbell, news sets the stage for a battle royal between mother David Jansen and Ric Reid and daughter about sex, love, money and morality.
“Originally banned from public performance, Shaw himself said about the play, ‘Ah, when I wrote that, I had some nerve.’ And that nerve is brilliantly
on display in this still provocative story.” JM

“WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW THE WORLD IS TO GET ON IF NOBODY IS TO GET MARRIED?”
Marriage à la Shaw! The bishop’s daughter is getting GETTING MARRIED married today. Or at least she was until she and her APRIL 11 TO NOVEMBER 1 ROYAL GEORGETHEATRE groom begin to have their doubts. They’ve each received a pamphlet titled “Do You Know What You Are Going By BERNARD SHAW to Do? By A Woman Who Has Done It“ and they both Directed by JOSEPH ZIEGLER Designed by SUE LePAGE begin to question whether marriage is any kind of sensible Lighting designed by LOUISE GUINAND union. Soon the whole household – from the bishop to the greengrocer – has an opinion to share. A funny and PETER KRANTZ, FIONA BYRNE, LAURIE PATON, MARTIN HAPPER thoroughly modern look at this venerable institution. AND DAVID SCHURMANN with Michael Ball, Norman Browning, “Shaw at the Royal George for the second year in a Nicolá Correia-Damude, Sharry Flett row – a chance to enjoy in close-up, as our company and Peter Millard presents with relish the discursive, opinionated family

“THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO EAT THE EARTH AND EAT ALL THE PEOPLE ON IT... THEN THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO STAND AROUND AND WATCH THEM EAT IT.”
Family and money – a lethal combination. When the THE LITTLE FOXES Hubbard siblings decide to invest in a cotton mill, the MAY 3 TO NOVEMBER 1 ROYAL GEORGETHEATRE struggle for the biggest slice of the pie begins. Brothers Ben and Oscar connive and scheme, but it is their By LILLIAN HELLMAN powerful sister Regina who will seemingly stop at nothing Directed by EDA HOLMES Designed by CAMERON PORTEOUS to get what she wants. The treachery of these Southern Lighting designed by KEVIN LAMOTTE foxes is a timeless story about the power of greed.

“WHATEVER PEOPLE MAY HAVE SAID ABOUT US WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, THEY COULD NEVER HAVE SAID WE WERE BORES.”
It’s 1938 and the Bright Young Things are still carrying AFTER THE DANCE on like it’s the Roaring Twenties. They’re that “lost JUNE 25 TO OCTOBER 5 ROYAL GEORGETHEATRE generation,”the ones that missed World War I and are trying desperately to deny the looming threat By TERENCE RATTIGAN of the next war. And to the younger generation, their Directed by NEIL MUNRO Designed by WILLIAM SCHMUCK life of endless parties seems utterly frivolous. But David Lighting designed by ALAN BRODIE and his wife Joan can’t stop looking back to a time and place when the bright lights shone on them. When PATRICK GALLIGAN, DEBORAH HAY AND MARLA McLEAN a young woman enters their lives, however, it seems with Neil Barclay and Ken James Stewart to signal the party might be ending.
“After its premiere in 1939, this play virtually disappeared for sixty years, but is now being hailed as a lost masterpiece. Indeed, I doubt that the growing shadow behind the glittering light has ever been
so trenchantly and movingly explored.” JM
