ShawChicago launches its 19th season with George Bernard Shaw’s The Millionairess. Epifania Fitzfassenden is a woman with loads of cash but bankrupt in the market of romance. Her husband, Alastair, is seeing another woman, and Epifania’s current companion, Adrian Blenderbland, is penniless and uses her only for access to expensive restaurants. When Epifania and Alastair decide to file for divorce, they inadvertently hire the same lawyer, Julius Sagamore, a man with a shady past. Then Epifania encounters a situation that forces her to rethink wealth and status. The Millionairess is packed with Shaw’s characteristic sparkling dialogue and keen social insight. There is a whole week of freebie performances in October, but the catch is that YOU MUST ORDER THEM TODAY.
Boy! And you think you have relationship issues …
