Theatre: Heartbreak HouseNov 15, 2001 at 8 p.m.

Heartbreak House, written by George Bernard Shaw, and directed by Natalyta Baldyga. What happens when the "good" people - the educated, intelligent, well-intentioned people with time and money on their hands - shrink from contact with power and politics and leave the running of the world to the "barbarians"? In Shaw's view, the bombs start dropping. Written at the time of World War I, Heartbreak House is a brilliant parable with rich language, vivid characters, and paradoxical wit - a major play by one of our greatest playwrights.
