Man and Superman

UNCG Event

March 27, 2012 - April 1, 2012

Brown Building Theatre

Man and Superman is by George Bernard Shaw and UNCG's production is directed by John Gulley in the Brown Building Theatre on March 27-April 1, 2012.

Written in 1903, this title comes from Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical ideas about the "Übermensch" ("Superman"). The plot centers on John Tanner, author of "The Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion". Tanner is a confirmed bachelor despite the pursuits of Ann Whitefield and her persistent efforts (to make him marry). Ann is referred to as "the Life Force" and represents Shaw's view that in every culture, it is women who force men to marry, rather than the other way around.

Tickets are $18 for adults; $15 for students & senior citizens; $12 for UNCG Alumni & Groups of 10+; $7 for UNCG Students.   These prices include the University Box Office per ticket service and handling fee.  Please note that online purchases have additional service/transaction fees.
