Arms and the Man

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of George Bernard Shaw’s Nobel Prize win, Entity Theatre will present Arms and the Man, the renowned playwright’s war-set comedy, on 12–16 November, 2025, at Pepper Theatre in Neuperlach.

In Arms and the Man, Bernard Shaw takes a stab at the idealisation of war heroes and romantic partners. Set in turn-of-the-century Bulgaria, young Raina Petkoff’s life is turned upside down by the appearance of a mysterious Serbian soldier seeking refuge in her bedroom. Will this mysterious man be the war hero she has been dreaming of? Or is he an enemy who faced her fiancé across the lines of battle? When both Raina’s fiancé and this mysterious man come back from the war, complications are sure to ensue. But beware: nothing is what it seems at the pen of George Bernard Shaw!

Auditions will be held on the evening of Tuesday, 24 June. Please contact the director, Estefania Vidal (estefania.vidal AT entitytheatre.org), if you would like to join either cast or crew.
