 PETULA CLARK: Candida
Here is sweet tempered tolerant, feet on the ground Candida, on the one hand married to and neglected by her pedantic parson whose care and compassion for the disadvantaged of Hackney elbows out any for his wife, and on the other hand idiotically adored by the young poet they have both befriended.
There are no dramatic highlights in the play and its charm lies in the rapid interplay of words and ideas as Candida manipulates the conflict between her vicar husband (Michael Craig) and would-be lover and 18 year old poet (Jonathan Morris).
Arthur English plays the part of the father with the breadth of humour that has come to be expected of him, and Osmund Bullock the curate, a foil for the wittier parts given to the main characters.

 Review: Victorian's Treatise (February 22 - February 28, 1996)
Candida, now brought skillfully to the boards by the Arizona Theatre Company under the direction of Penny Metropulos, is a typical Shavian "drama of ideas," a witty domestic play that also investigates the great political issues of the day.
Candida's father, Burgess, is a nouveau rich industrialist who allows Shaw some easy potshots (Burgess dislikes paying a living wage, he says, because it's "putting money into the pockets of workin' men that they dunno ow to spend") but he's a robustly comic figure robustly played by James J. Lawless.
Candida, the first Shaw play produced by ATC since Arms and the Man in 1988, is a classic in every sense of the word, open to fresh interpretation in every succeeding generation.

 Candida by George Bernard Shaw: A searchable online version at The Literature Network
Depicted as a "strong woman," Candida makes the wrong choice, but being a strong woman at the time the play was written simply meant that she did have the power to make her own choices.
The sad thing is in the last act, Candida chooses to be a co-dependent, because as her husband James is "the weakest" and indeed, the neediest, of her two choices, she prefers to be the strong partner by choosing the role of mother to her "baby" James.
Candida is depicted throughout the play as being the "ideal" of a strong woman, and it would have been a pathetic conclusion to see this woman throw away her marriage vows and integrity to run off with a coward of a poet.

 Candida, a CurtainUp review
Burgess, Candida's father who is more interested in matters of practical advancement than the spiritual leanings of his son-in-law, giving him a degree of humanity and resisting the tendency to overplay him as some evil businessman out of Dickens.
Kate Holland plays to the bewildered Puritan spirit of Miss Prossy appropriately, though one could sometimes wish for her not to act as if her character were meant to be the star of the show.
Difficult as Candida's decision is, Shaw and Halberstam show us that Candida's choice is made with a clear head but a not unregretful heart, and it is a measure of the caliber of both playwright and director that we are both happy and sad at her decision.

The fact that the play was set in the 1800s and in London created a rift between the audience and the cast that was not as observable in other productions like "Bus Stop," where the play was set in Kansas City, Mo., and in the middle of the 20th century.
Candida, played by Deborah Ouradnik, found that she was torn between two men.
The climax to the story fell into the hands of Candida's character, and she chose the weaker of the two men as the one she would love, reinforcing the underlying theme of the play that a man may be master but he is nothing without the love of his wife.

 KET Field Trip to Horse Cave Theatre: About Candida   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Candida premiered in 1898 and has played in countless theaters throughout the century since.
Shaw’s character of Candida is open and frank; she has been called “one of Shaw’s wisest and strongest female characters.” She’s more on top of the situation than either of her suitors, and therein lies the humor—and the lesson—of Shaw’s drama.
Finally, for the record: Shaw’s Candida is not pronounced “Can-deed”—that’s the novel by Voltaire.

 Candida
Candida is adored by her husband, the crusading reverend James Morell; admired by his curate, the reverend Alexander Mill (Lexy); and beloved by her father, the rascally Mr.
This play is funny because the struggle between Morell and Marchbanks resembles a fistfight in which two men throw punches at the air.
But Candida's determination and sense of responsibility not only invalidate their struggle, but also validate her displeasure with both men who insist on fighting over her as if she were a piece of property.

 McCarter Theatre - Candida Guide
Candida, a classic comedy of the modern English-language theater, was written in 1894 by George Bernard Shaw, the prolific Irish-born dramatist who became one of the most widely-produced playwrights of the twentieth century.
They do, and Candida, in a surprising turn of events, demonstrates that Morell is the weaker of the two, and therefore more deserving of her love.
But it is on the stage that Shaw's passionate intelligence lives most fully, and the pleasure of his plays, still, is the pleasure of watching his characters discover who they really are, not through the agency of the plot, but through the exercise of their minds and the movement of their souls.

In this play, which is one of Shakespeare's earliest attempts at tragedy and which was written in the same period as his great romantic comedies like A Midsummer Night's Dream, we see a disarming shifting of mood from the comic and lighthearted to the sobering and portentous.
"Candida," written by Shaw between 1894 and 1895 and first performed in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1897, is a domestic story that chronicles the relationships between the Rev. James Mavor Morrell, a passionate conservative socialist preacher, his staff, his wife Candida, her industrialist father and a poet, Eugene Marchbanks.
The character of Candida is written as a woman who inspires devotion due in equal parts to her beauty, compassion and goodness.

Candida tells the story of a quirky and sensitive poet, Marchbanks (Arlen Konopaki), who traipses into the home of a socialist priest, Morrell (Mat Busby), declaring his love for the priest’s wife, Candida (Simone Saunders).
In its time, Candida was considered a “strong woman” play, because she exercises the power to choose between the men, and relishes it.
Played as a hilarious, floppy dandy who leaps and bounds skittishly around the stage, he is so excitable and neurotic that at one point he hurls himself, face first, into the couch, sticks his butt in the air and addresses Candida from there.

 Aisle Say (Boston): CANDIDA
The author went so far as to claim that the play was a response to Ibsen's "A Doll's House", wherein Shaw demonstrated that a husband can be the partner who is the oppressed and infantilized plaything.
Actresses have burned to play Candida: to stand between two men declaring their undying love and tell them both that they are acting like little boys.
..but Candida's serene brow, courageous eyes..signify largeness of mind and dignity of character to ennoble her cunning in the affections." The play is Shaw's tribute to the series of admirable women, most of them safely and firmly married, whose generous support and understanding made his own career possible.

 Candida by George Bernard Shaw, Search Cheap Books, Discount Books, ISBN 066017913X
Throughout much of the play Morrell and Marchbanks engage in a series of brilliantly written duels over Candida, each of them espousing what Candida means to them and what they can give her, arguing through numerous philosophical issues in the process.
But neither gentleman has actually troubled to consult Candida herself; when they eventually lay the issue before her and insist that she decide between them, she responds in a way that not only demonstrates how little they know of her, but how little they know about both women and the world in general.
The ending of the play, rather than being the rather "pat," upbeat ending we've learned to expect from romantic comedies, is reflective and character-driven and seems to have been written by Candida, herself, just as it should be.

Within the Shavian oeuvre, Candida is a play that is marked by the absence of the "typical" complaints about Shaw's plays.
But the fact is, Candida is ageless, and Camp meticulously renders a woman who, as the theater's "Playgoer's Supplement" suggests she should be, is more maternal than sexual.
Newcomer Kia Christina Heath captures the essence of the Reverend's secretary, Miss Proserpine (Prossy) Garnett, and also contributes mightily if subtly to the laughs, especially in the first scene of the second act when she is alone with Eugene and later when she has the temerity to sip champagne.

Mr Granville Barker succeeded in playing Eugene Marchbanks where almost every other actor would have failed, because the representation of a lyrical mood is one within the peculiar range of his powers.
When he repeats her name 'Candida, Candida, Candida,' there is not a touch of self-consciousness in the musical reiteration; he does not appear to be following the sound of his own voice like most actors at such times, but to be listening, detached, to his longing made audible.
The play opened on April 9, 1904, and, while it was still running, Granville Barker arranged to put on a series of six matinees of Shaw's Candida, beginning on April 26.
