Written by George Bernard Shaw, Directed by Leah Bonvissuto

The Philanderer is a comedy where the charismatic Leonard Charteris is a philosophizing philanderer who believes that only conventional people marry while advanced people form "charming friendships." But when he meets a self-described "new women" who belongs only to herself and is the property of no man, he may have met his match, if not his mate! It is one of the three plays Shaw published as Plays Unpleasant in 1898, because its purpose is to raise awareness of social problems. We welcome exciting up and coming director, Leah Bonvissuto (Lincoln Centers Directors Lab, NYC Fringe Fest) to the helm.
