Directors Notes
Welcome to the merry saga of Major Barbara. It takes a long time beginning, but, once begun, it is an old tale and a good tale.
We have for your delight foundlings found, lovers loved, and kingdoms lost and won. The battles are mostly verbal, though there is the odd turn of fisticuffs for those of you who demand real “blood and fire”
All plays come in two halves, the rehearsal half and the performance half. With the invaluable help of Frank Rushworth at the beginning, we have enjoyed the first half–the ball is now in your court.
