Bernard Shaw's Village Wooing to Be Presented for Four Performances

Gingold Theatrical Group (GTG) announced a special Salon Presentation of George Bernard Shaw’s romantic comedy Village Wooing. Newly adapted and directed by David Staller, Village Wooing will be presented for four performances only, October 22–25, at the House of the Redeemer, a historic landmarked mansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

For this presentation, GTG will present a new gender-neutral adaptation of Shaw’s text, in which the roles are identified simply as “A” and “Z.” Written in 1933, Village Wooing is one of Shaw’s late works.

In this rarely seen play, two resolutely independent people, each determined to remain single, meet aboard a pleasure cruise, and an unlikely courtship begins to take shape.

Village Wooing will be presented as a Salon Presentation: an intimate theatrical event inspired by the great literary salons, bringing performers and a small audience together in a personal setting.

Casting will be announced at a later date.

Proceeds from Village Wooing will directly support GTG’s continuing artistic programs, including its Project Shaw reading series, the Speakers’ Corner new-play development program, and its off-Broadway productions.
