About the Play:
Getting Married is a provocative comedy examining the meaning of marriage and the rules that govern it. On the day the Bishop’s daughter is to be married, unconventional desires and questions about love, partnership, and parenthood collide. Lesbia wishes to have a child without a man, while Hotchkiss’s romantic entanglements threaten established norms. When the enigmatic Mrs. George arrives, chaos and hilarity ensue.
Shaw’s 1908 play challenges traditional notions of marriage and questions who defines unions between consenting adults, offering a comedy full of surprises and wit.
