Chocolates or Bullets?

Arms and the Man

By George Bernard Shaw

Postponed until the 2010-2011 Season

ARMS & THE MAN is a romantic comedy by one of theatre’s master playwrights. The fun begins when a wayward Swiss soldier for hire, tired of the madness of war, seeks refuge in a fair lady’s boudoir. It turns out that he prefers carrying chocolates to bullets in his ammunition pouch and soon becomes known as “the chocolate cream soldier.”
