The drama that put legendary playwright George Bernard Shaw on the map. "Hark ye, General Burgoyne. If you think that I like being hanged, you're mistaken." A wry melodrama set during the American Revolution about a miscreant who finds something to live for, just as the British Army wants him put to death over mistaken identity. George Bernard Shaw's first commercial success as a playwright and the start of his rise to prominence. A staged reading presented by Falconbridge Players, adapted and directed by Giovanna Iosso. Free and open to the public.
