Misalliance
By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Guillermo Cienfuegos
May 12 – June 9, 2024
George Bernard Shaw’s signature wit and warmth is woven throughout this high-flying comedy, the grand finale of our 2023-24 season. When the arrival of uninvited guests disrupts an undergarment mogul’s quiet English countryside manor, tensions escalate and hidden truths come to light. Through lively debates and subsequent antics – including eight marriage proposals and one plane crash – the audience is treated to a satiric comedy of manners that exposes hilarious clashes of class, gender, and generations.
From the same director as the wildly entertaining 2023 production of Much Ado About Nothing.
Running Time: 2 hours and 45 minutes with an intermission
Content Advisory: This production features scenes involving e-cigarettes and an e-pipe, and the utilization of flashing lights.

“SHINES ...entertaining, humorous, satirical, and clever… a must-see production and one of A Noise Within’s best.”

“A WHIRLWIND OF WIT AND WHIMSY, proving that classic Shaw can still surprise and captivate modern audiences... the classically trained cast, under Guillermo Cienfuegos’ tight direction, nails it with style and a wink… Expect the unexpected and get ready for a good laugh.”

“A SMASHING GOOD TIME ...hilarious and relevant… witty and biting… funny and insightful… LA Theatre Bites ‘Recommended’.”
