"Wonderful cast... a polished ensemble" — Kirkus Audiobook Reviews

Taking place on a single day in May 1909, a self-made millionaire and his family invite their future nobleman-in-law for a visit to their estate in Surrey, England. In this delightfully clever play, issues of gender, class, politics and family are all targets for Shaw's keen wit. 🛩️ 🧐

Starring Roger Rees ('Cheers'), Eric Stoltz ('Pulp Fiction'), Victoria Tennant ('L.A. Story'), and Serena Scott Thomas ('The World Is Not Enough'), with Tom Beyer, Joy Gregory, W. Morgan Sheppard, Tegan West, and Douglas Weston.

Directed by Eric Simonson. Recorded before a live audience at the DoubleTree Suites, Santa Monica in January 2003.
