Heroism, cowardice and class conflict are dipped in luscious chocolate in one of Shaw’s most beloved comedies, where love, war and marriage intersect. Is the soldier that shoots bon-bons instead of cartridges any less brave than the soldier who goes into battle with no ammunition at all?

The Story

By Tracey Scott Wilson

Journalistic integrity gets a workout in this gripping, fast–paced drama. When the murder of a Caucasian teacher occurs in an African–American neighborhood, one reporter locks horns with her editor as they battle over how to cover the story. But just what is the story? The play was inspired by the Washington Post reporter who received a Pulitzer Prize for her story on an inner–city youth, but forced to return the prize when the story was proven to be fabricated.

The Story contains adult language.
