</b>–<b> </b>The Case Western Reserve University/Cleveland Play House MFA (CWRU/MFA) Acting Program will present
<i>Too True to be Good</i> in the Helen Rosenfeld Lewis Bialosky Lab Theatre (“The Helen”) at PlayhouseSquare for 10 performances only, March 5-15, 2014. Written by George Bernard Shaw and directed by CWRU/MFA Associate Director Donald Carrier, this biting
comedy marks the ensemble debut of the MFA Class of 2016. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"<i>Too True to be Good</i> is a play of ideas written at a time in Shaw's life where he was experimenting with form and content,” says Carrier. “I have always loved this unique play and am thrilled that our new class of 2016 has the opportunity
of exploring it. Shaw demands passion, imaginative agility and conviction which this group has already displayed."

confined to bed by an over-protective mother. When two burglars attempt to steal her prized necklace, Miss Mopply sees an opportunity to escape her bedroom prison and the “flapdoodle” life of the respectable and wealthy. She joins up with the robbers, and
the trio goes on the lam to the far reaches of the British Empire. They settle in for a life of leisure at a beachfront outpost of the British army, but what happens when the thrill of being a criminal wears off? And can they really leave the past behind them?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (<i>Playwright</i>) was an acclaimed dramatist, critic and social reformer who was born in Dublin where he grew up in an atmosphere
of genteel poverty. He attended four schools and was tutored by a clerical uncle, but left his formal schooling behind him at the age of 15. He developed a wide knowledge of music, art and literature under the influence of his mother, a singer and vocal music
teacher, and as a result of his visits to the National Gallery of Ireland.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Shaw’s plays first attained popularity in London through a famous repertory experiment at the Royal Court Theatre from 1904 to 1907. Among his plays presented
there were the premieres of <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">John Bull’s Other Island</span></em> (1904),
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Man and Superman</span></em> (1905),
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Major Barbara</span></em> (1905) and
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The Doctor’s Dilemma</span></em> (1906)<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">.</span></em>
<i>Pygmalion</i>, by far Shaw’s most popular work, was first performed in 1913. During World War I, Shaw’s anti-war pamphlets and speeches made him very unpopular as a public figure. In
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Heartbreak House</span></em> (performed 1920) he exposed the spiritual bankruptcy of the generation responsible for the carnage. Next came
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Back to Methuselah</span></em> (1922) and
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Saint Joan</span></em> (1923), acclaim for which led to his receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature for 1925. Shaw continued to write plays and essays until his death in 1950 at the age of 94.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
