Thursday-Saturday, July 16-August 1, Shaw3, three one-act plays by George Bernard Shaw, Vokes Theater

The Vokes Players of Wayland will present three short comedies by George Bernard Shaw in a program titled "Shaw3" directed by John Barrett. The show will be performed at Beatrice Herford’s Vokes Theatre (Route 20) in Wayland on July 16 to Aug. 1.

Performances are Thursday to Saturday evenings at 8pm, with 2pm matinees on Saturday, July 25 and August 1. For tickets and information call 508-358-4034 or visit www.vokesplayers.org.

Ticket prices are $15 for Thursday evenings and Saturday matinees, and $18 for Friday and Saturday evenings. "Shaw3" is an evening of three one-act plays by Shaw – "How He Lied to Her Husband," "Overrules" and "The Man of Destiny."

George Bernard Shaw was one of the most thought-provoking philosopher-playwrights whose work has ever graced the world stage. He was also, when the mood struck, just about the silliest.

Join us for a completely unphilosophical, utterly lighthearted, laugh-provoking foray into the antic world of Shaw’s comic genius. With none of the intellectual fancies of Shaw’s longer works, these short comedies are full of incredible characters, improbable situations, impossible coincidences, and as always, the clever and sharp dialogue for which this master of language is famous. If you think you know all there is to know about Shaw from "Pygmalion" and "Heartbreak House," get ready for a delightful surprise. "Shaw3" is the perfect confection for a summer evening – light, breezy and easy on the palate.
