Summary

George Bernard Shaw goaded the already successful essayist and novelist Chesterton into trying his hand at a play, with this 1913 result.  The play examines the powers and mysteries of faith, belief, religion, and of course, magic - a mixture that should be familiar from many of his Father Brown stories.  The play's success convinced him to write a couple of other later plays.  - Summary by ToddHWCast list:The Duke: AnthonyDoctor Grimthorpe: Ryyla AlderThe Rev.
