You Never Can Tell by George Bernard Shaw
Performances run Friday September 26th through Saturday October 11th. Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm & Sundays at 6pm.
Synopsis:
At an English seaside resort, the young dentist, Valentine, extracts a tooth from his first patient, the voluble Dolly, who has just arrived with her family from Madeira. Her equally voluble twin brother, Philip, appears, and at once they invite the dentist to lunch. They are joined at the dentist's office by their mother, the famous Mrs. Clandon, authoress of social-reform treatises; and by their elder sister, Gloria, who is her mother's haughty disciple. Valentine promptly falls in love with Gloria, though she initially seems to have no interest in him.
Believing she has no need of a husband and her children have no need of a father, Mrs. Clandon refuses to tell her children who their father is (she separated from him when the children were very young, and they haven't seen him since) and she leaves. At that time, Valentine's landlord, the ill-tempered Fergus Crampton appears, wanting an aching a tooth pulled, and the twins immediately invite Crampton to also join them for lunch.
Add a faithful family solicitor, the "perfect waiter" to oversee the festivities, and for good measure "a distinguished attorney for the queen" and you have the makings of a Shavian farce of the highest order.
How will things turn out? You never can tell.
