On March 29, 1933, as part of a round-the-world tour he took with his wife, playwright and social reformer George Bernard Shaw visited Hollywood for the first and only time in his life. With reporters following Shaw’s every step, the well documented events of that day are re-created in Mark Saltzman’s comedy Mr. Shaw Goes to Hollywood.
Playwright: Mark Saltzman
“Ultimately, with Shaw’s wry humor and satiric wit as its anchor, Saltzman’s script turns out to be an inventive and amusing romp that both celebrates and light-heartedly indicts Hollywood’s glitzy reputation.”
— Kristina Mannion, Backstage West

"Vivid and wickedly funny. Saltzman’s puckish comic voice sparkles. "

"A vivacious, sprightly comedy...Expect no heady, long-winded Shavian arguments here. Mark Saltzman’s play is replete with wisecracks and fast-paced scenes."
