Project Shaw Hosts 'Too True to be Good' 2/11 with Busch & Kudisch

Project Shaw continues its four-year program of tackling every play Shaw ever wrote. This month, Too True to be Good on Monday, February 11, 2008 at 7 p.m. at the Players Club, 16 Gramercy Park South. David Staller is producer and director.

"In Too True to be Good, a glamorous pair of jewel thieves (Charles Busch and Marc Kudisch) convince a chronic young convalescent (Kathy Brier) to steal her own jewels and run away with them to a tropical paradise. Her over-protective mother (Marylouise Burke) comes chasing after them and a riotous time is had by all. This is Shaw's 1931 high-comedy journey which takes on fad diets, the medical profession, the military, war, religion, and sex. The extraordinary cast will also include Louis Zorich, John Scherer, Nick Wyman, John Windsor-Cunningham, Eric Grode and Michael Feingold. David Staller produces and directs the series, now in its third of four years," state press notes.

The cast consists of Michael Feingold as the Monster, Kathy Brier as the patient, Marylouise Burke as Ms. Mopley, Eric Grode as the Doctor, Charles Busch as The Nurse (Sweetie), Marc Kudisch as The Burglar (Popsy), John Windsor-Cunningham as Colonel Tallboys, John Scherer as Private Meek, Nick Wyman as Sergeant Fielding, and Louis Zorich as The Elder.
