Man and Superman is generally considered to be one of Shaw's comedic masterpieces. The story involves the simple premise of a man, Jack Tanner, determined not to marry his ward, Ann Whitefield, who is equally determined to land him. Ann chases Jack from London, across the channel, into the mountains of Spain, and even to Hell and back (in the famous dream scene of Don Juan in Hell).

Part of GTG's Shaw New York festival. For information, visit www.projectshaw.com.

“… [AN] INTELLIGENT, CHARMING PRODUCTION” – Time Out New York

“A THOUGHTFUL, BRIGHT AND LIVELY PRODUCTION. This luminous Irish Repertory production will resonate with audiences hungry for philosophical wit and humor.” – AP

“A THOROUGHLY ENGAGING PRODUCTION. Fortunately, the troupe Staller has gathered to wage his unceasingly enthusiastic arguments in Shaw's favor is a merry, well-spoken one.” – Theatermania

“SHAW AT HIS QUIRKIEST. With Hammond's suave diablerie, Kennedy's warmth, and Murray's crispness, the evening does more than get by. It offers the miracle of all well-played Shaw: It never feels long.” – Village Voice

“Staller delivers a jolly good time. The cast gets considerable comic mileage out of Shaw's sharp dialogue and heady notions. This is AN ENTERTAINING AND WELL-STAGED SHAVIAN PRODUCTION.” – Backstage

“But knowing the plot, and that the actors are brimming with talent, that the visuals are enthralling and the direction wonderful only tells you the tip of what makes this AN EVENING WORTH RUSHING TO. The words, the cadence, the joy in dark humor, the thrust and parry of political swordplay is swoon-inducing. ...GET A TICKET to "Man and Superman" at the Irish Repertory Theatre.” – Edge NY

“The Irish Repertory Company/Gingold Theatrical Group’s ebullient, meaty, beautifully produced Man and Superman is more than likely to send any thinking audience member home broadly grinning. MAX GORDON MOORE (Jack) IS NEVER LESS THAN CAPTIVATING. JONATHAN HAMMOND (Mendoza-whom they encounter in Spain, The Devil) IS IRRESISTIBLE. THE INIMITABLE BRIAN MURRAY (Ramsden) CONTINUES TO PERSONIFY BEING DISGRUNTLED AS SKILLFULLY AS HE MANAGES THE TWINKLE IN HIS EYE.” – Woman Around Town

“The acting: dynamic.  The direction: precise.  The costumes: gorgeous.  The set: detailed.  The story: enticing.  Irish Rep has a bona fide hit on their hands with George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman, EASILY THE BEST PRODUCTION I'VE SEEN IN A LONG, LONG TIME. My sincere congratulations to everyone involved in this marvelous production.” – theateronline.com

“…Gingold Theatrical Group and the Irish Rep deserve our thanks for giving us a rare chance to see Shaw's comedy as intended but streamlined and with Jack's dream included. Given its inclusion of the often omitted portion, IT'S NOT ONLY A CHANCE TO SEE A RARELY DONE SHAW PLAY BUT TO SEE IT WITHOUT OMITTING A MEANINGFUL ELEMENT.” – CurtainUp
