Arms and the Man

The Milk Can Theatre Company presents an all new Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw. This comic drama about love and war established Shaw as one of the finest wits of his time. In this new production Bluntschli, a soldier who prefers a supply of chocolates to bullets, is played by a woman, giving new depth to Shaw’s iconoclastic romantic play. Bluntschli surprises the young Raina by climbing through her bedroom window looking for shelter, starting a chain reaction of events that shatter Raina’s idealistic notions
of love and war. During the course of the play, Raina’s romantic and
idealistic notions about love and war are shattered. With the help of
her “chocolate cream soldier” she comes to understand what she really wants.
