The TACT and Gingold Theatrical Group coproduction of George Bernard Shaw's Widowers' Houses celebrated its opening night on March 13 at the Beckett Theatre at Theatre Row. The limited run continues through April 2.

In Shaw’s debut play, written during his time as an arts journalist in response to a dare by a fellow critic, a young man discovers an unsavory truth about his family-to-be, and is faced with choosing between his love and his ideals.
