Arms and the Man
Beautiful young Bulgarian Raina has heroic ideals, betrothed as she is to Major Sergius Saranoff. Her fiancé is away, fighting alongside her father, Major Petkoff, in the war against Serbia ... but when escaping Serbian Captain Bluntschli climbs into her bedroom through the balcony window, she finds herself hiding him behind the curtains in spite of herself. Does he have ammunition in his pockets? No … he has chocolate creams, like any other jobbing soldier. And when she catches Sergius flirting with her maid Louka, Raina finds her grand notions of love and war slipping away from her, as true love and honesty take their place.
“The Eleventh Hour” was “delightful … charming” (British Theatre Guide) and received a "big thumbs up" (audience Facebook review) while “The 39 Steps” was “slick, upbeat … full of humour” (British Theatre Guide). “SHERLOCK HOLMES – The Scandal Of The Scarlet Woman” was “pure delight” (Matlock Mercury) and “never takes itself too seriously ... you can almost smell the faded decadence" (Eastbourne Herald) and “Raffles” had "all the hallmarks of a classic" (The Reviews Hub)
A real audience-pleaser, ARMS AND THE MAN is a sparkling comedy that has more than a little to say about the state of the world today!
This production is dedicated to the memory of Michael Friend, leading Bernard Shaw producer and enthusiast.
