BIG BANG

A plane crash is not typically the inciting event for a comedy, but this George Bernard Shaw play chooses to begin with a bang. Once an aircraft has disturbed a summer afternoon and smashed a greenhouse, eight proposals of marriage rapidly ensue. The Pearl revives Shaw’s comedy of courtship, with director Jeff Steitzer piloting.

Tuesdays, Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, 2:30 p.m. Starts: Dec. 4. Continues through Jan. 24, 2009
