In this, one of Shaw’s most light-hearted plays, a seaside resort in England plays host to a set of anarchic twins, their stunning sister and their highly unusual feminist mother. When the play begins, the Clandons have just returned to England after having spent 18 years in Portugal. Now that they’re back, the children have decided to insist that their mother tell them who their father is, or was.
At first, Mrs. Clandon puts up some resistance, but eventually she has her solicitor admit that the guilty party is someone they have recently met. What follows is a classic comedy with chance encounters, mutual recognition and a reunion of a long-separated family – but not without a wrinkle or two. Together with a fledgling dentist and a curmudgeonly businessman, they are helped through the shenanigans by a worldly-wise waiter, William. Is it the sea air that allows wrongs to be righted and transformation to occur? Whatever it may be, all the proceedings are bathed in a delicious feeling of whimsy, magic and sheer joyfulness.
