Dedicated to language centered and multi-cultural performances.
At the end of the Serbo-Bulgarian War in 1885, an idealistic, engaged young Bulgarian Woman, Raina, is startled to confront a soldier in her boudoir—Captain Bluntschli, a Swiss mercenary fighting for Serbia—who confesses to her that he would rather carry chocolates than bullets. Torn between two men, Raina must decide who will capture her heart. Arms and the Man was a Nobel Prize winner, George Bernard Shaw’s first commercial success, and remains one of his most popular plays.
