		The title character (Wendy Hiller) is the daughter of a millionaire arms manufacturer (Robert Morley); she is a zealous Salvation Army officer, trying to convert the destitute of London with enthusiasm, sympathy and 'a bribe of bread'.
		Barbara is tested by drama; Undershaft fights back with mind-numbing spectacle - capitalism's genius is that it absorbs all opposition.
		'Barbara' is one of Shaw's less intolerable plays, with the odd funny line (all snatched by Marie Lohr as Barbara's aristocratic mother) peeping through the flat epigrams, laborious dailogues and general sterile clever-cleverness.

	Major
		So Major and I settled into a daily routine: two or three times a day I would take her into the bathroom, dangle her rear end over the toilet, cradle her abdomen in my hand, find her bladder, and squeeze it until it was empty.
		Major had a wicked sense of humor, and another of her nicknames was "Evil Beast".
		Major was an amazingly tough little cat whose incredible fighting spirit saw through her more than one illness and injury during our years together, but in late 1997 she became gravely ill and was eventually diagnosed with feline infectious peritonitis.

	Bernard Shaw - 'Major Barbara'
		Read Bernard Shaw’s “Major Barbara”, and you will be surprised as to how easily you will be convinced that poverty is “the worst of our crimes”, that the Church is the instrument of capitalism, and that real progress can only be achieved by the power of gunpowder.
		One of Shaw’s most powerful statements in “Major Barbara”, and one that echoes throughout the play is that “the greatest of our evils and the worst of our crimes is poverty”.
		Thus, he attacks the Christian belief that “blessed are the poor”, and dismisses it as a sham to keep the poor, poor and weak.

	PICT's 'Major Barbara' joins hit ranks in Galway
		Galway is a city long known to many Pittsburghers -- cab drivers speak casually of their friends the Rooneys -- not just as a colorful tourist gateway to the Aran Islands and the wilds of Connemara, but also for its internationally known literary life focused on the famous Kenny's Book Store.
		For all its fame, the Druid is a wee venue -- 90 seats in an ancient building in the oldest part of town -- and even with a scaled-down set, PICT has had its ingenuity taxed in compressing a large show to fit.
		The audience in Galway finds the seriocomic conflict among the warrior industrialist, his conventional wife, his Salvation Army daughter and her intellectual fiance as current as George Bush, Haliburton and Iraq, and during the intermission is happy to descant at length on the similarities.

	Major Barbara : Book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		So says Andrew Undershaft, the extremely wealthy owner of a tremendously successful English armaments business, in George Bernard Shaw´s play "Major Barbara." Undershaft, whose self-proclaimed religion is his wealth and his industry, inherited the business from a long line of Andrew Undershafts, each of whom was a foundling adopted by the corresponding previous Andrew Undershaft.
		Undershaft moralizes when he speaks, but in actuality he scoffs at what he considers ordinary Christian morals of the kind professed by his daughter Barbara, who has joined the Salvation Army in her fervid desire to help the poor and has attained the rank of major.
		She works at a shelter doling out bread and milk to the downtrodden and trying to find work for the unemployed, but her real goal is to bring them to "salvation" by raising them to a higher state of spirituality.

		The building is all white walls and blonde wood and big windows and airy staircase, and it houses (so far) a 175-seat house (intended eventually to become Arden's second stage when the larger theater in the enormous building is completed in 1997).
		This famous play dismantles a cherished idea: "Right is right; and wrong is wrong; and if a man cannot distinguish them properly, he is either a fool or a rascal." Anyone in the audience who believes this, is, like the twit who speaks it, in for a good moral tweaking by this socialist-capitalist-Jesuitical-diabolical play.
		Barbara (Grace Gonglewski), granddaughter of an earl, daughter of the indomitable dowager Lady Britomart (Hazel Bowers), has become a major in the Salvation Army.
