Banned on its publication 106 years ago for being too ‘immoral and otherwise improper for the stage’, London audiences had to wait 30 years before they could see George Bernard Shaw’s shockingly modern take on prostitution.

Directed by Brian Brady, the Peacock hosts this production to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of one of Ireland’s greatest playwrights.
