Experience the wit and wisdom of George Bernard Shaw with "Misalliance," directed by Guillermo Cienfuegos, at A Noise Within. This satiric comedy of manners, set on a summer day in the early 20th century, unfolds in an English country estate where an undergarment mogul, his family, and a group of eclectic visitors engage in lively debates, resulting in eight marriage proposals and a plane crash. This production promises to be a chaotic clash of class, gender, and generations, offering audiences a humorous yet insightful look at societal norms.

Running from May 12 to June 9, 2024, "Misalliance" follows the success of Cienfuegos's 2023 production of "Much Ado About Nothing," and is anticipated to be an unusually funny and constantly surprising conversation piece. The New York Times praises it as an engaging spectacle that never fails to astonish.

Misalliance

A Noise Within Theatre

Misalliance is one of George Bernard Shaw’s most spirited and surprising comedies. Set in the drawing room of a prosperous English family on a seemingly ordinary afternoon, the tranquility is shattered when an airplane literally crashes into their greenhouse, introducing a bold, unconventional aviatrix into the midst of polite society. As suitors circle, secrets surface, and romantic expectations unravel, Shaw turns the traditional courtship comedy on its head with sharp wit and deliciously tangled misunderstandings.
