Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw, under the leadership of Artistic Director David Staller, kicked off its 12th Season when it presented its 121st concert presentation with Shaw's 1895 legendary comedy Candida on Monday, February 13 at 7pm, at Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre (2537 Broadway at 95th Street).
Directed by David Staller, Candida features Tony Award winners Blair Brown as Candida and Michael Cerveris as Rev. James Morell, Jay Armstrong Johnson as Marchbanks, Jolly Abraham as Prosperine ("Prossy") Garnett, Dakin Matthews as Mr. Burgess, Carman Lacivita as Rev. Alexander ("Lexy") Mill. Maggie Buchwald is the Narrator.
Candida, one of Shaw's most popular of romantic comedies, sweeps us through one tumultuous day. An impassioned young poet, Marchbanks, has become a fixture in the home of the foreword thinking Reverend James Morell and his brilliant wife, Candida. By the end of that day, the poet has forced a life-changing decision from Candida that will forever alter the future of all concerned. Along the way, Shaw exhibits his dazzling insights and wicked wit.
