Man and Superman The Irish Repertory Theatre, NY
Anyone looking to witness a professional production of George Bernard Shaw's challenging Man and Superman that executes the obstacles that lay before it in a steady and effective way should see this current production at The Irish Repertory Theatre. With few flaws outside those arguably imbedded in the text itself, Mr. Shaw is given a fair opportunity to openly speak his mind.
There are very valid reasons for not trying to tackle this play, but the qualities that make it an epic masterpiece give argument to accepting the terms of engagement. Its length can be painful, its unfinished business frustrating, its tangents diverting; there are few ways in which it lets an audience off easy. Staring down the barrels of those many guns with a collected and even-handed manner appears to have been this troupe's plan of attacking from a slightly defensive position.
