$10.99 Published by Samuel French Inc
1 Male 1 Female
Shining in the bewitching repartee between two great wits, Katharine Cornell and Brian Aherne played Mrs. Campbell and Shaw on Broadway
The play toured this hemisphere and Europe for two years before its return to Off Broadway
It is a masterful compendium of badinage with Shaw and Mrs. Campbell in scenes of both confrontation and distancing
Here is Shaw in all his contradictions - he adores the actress, Mrs Campbell, most ascetically, and persuades her to play in Pygmalion
He frets with her when she leaves for America and refuses permission to publish the letters that would save her from bankruptcy
Mrs Campbell is his match - she published the letters anyway!
A strange and intriguing romance fought around the world
