Butler, Cerveris, Hoffman, Morton, et al. Set for Man and Superman

Matthew Arkin, Kerry Butler, Michael Cerveris, Jackie Hoffman, George S. Irving, Marc Kudisch, Euan Morton, Noah Racey, Elena Shaddow, KT Sullivan, and Nick Wyman will star in Project Shaw’s staged reading of George Bernard Shaw’s Man and Superman, to take place at 7pm on Monday, September 17 at the Players’ Club.

The reading will be produced and directed by David Staller. It will be narrated by New York Post columnist Michael Reidel, and New York Magazine critic Jeremy McCarter will host the event.

In the play, Shaw explores the philosophy that humanity is the latest stage in a purposeful evolutionary movement of the “life force” toward ever-higher life forms. Man and Superman includes the lively debate scene often performed separately as “Don Juan in Hell.” The play has been trimmed, so the reading’s running time is expected to be about three hours.
