“One of the many ways LA Theatre Works enhances the audiobook world is to restage the wonderful and witty early works of the 1925 Nobel Prize-winning playwright George Bernard Shaw. Susan Sullivan (of the TV series Castle) and the late British actor Christopher Neame lead a fine cast in this 1897 comedy of errors in which an heiress and her family return to the tiny seaside town where she last saw her husband eighteen years earlier. Meanwhile, a penniless dentist falls madly in love with the very ‘modern’ eldest daughter. The solicitor, played by Broadway veteran Nicholas Hormann, delivers the perfect last laugh: ‘All matches are unwise. It’s unwise to be born. It’s unwise to be married. It’s unwise to live. It’s unwise to die.’ Pearls of wisdom from a master.”

How many plays start in a dentist’s chair and climax with a wild masquerade party? Shaw’s hilarious comedy of errors involves mistaken identity, tangled courtship, and wise advice from “the perfect waiter.” With a nod to Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, Shaw’s You Never Can Tell is a lightning-paced satire of romance and Edwardian society. Recorded before a live audience at the UCLA James Bridges Theater in May 2015. Director: Rosalind Ayres Producing Director: Susan Albert Loewenberg An L.A.
