The Washington Stage Guild continues its series of online presentations with, How He Lied to Her Husband, set in a London drawing room, a witty look at the love triangle, as only Shaw could envision it and is said to have been written by GBS in a matter of a few days. The play has often been interpreted as a kind of satirical commentary on Shaw's own highly successful earlier play Candida, which one of the characters gets tickets to see.
Morgan Duncan, who returns to the Stage Guild after his long sojourn with The Capitol Steps, will direct thecast in this comic gem of a one act.
Duncan says, "I feel like a lot of Mr. Shaw's work is him looking at the work of another artist - Shakespeare, for example - and saying, 'yeah, that's all well and good, but, here, let me show you what you could have written, had you any real talent.' The fascinating thing about How He Lied to Her Husband is that the work he's reexamining is his own Candida!"
