Shaw fusty? Shaw timely

The New York premiere of Mrs. Warren's Profession was on Oct. 30, 1905 -- one hundred years ago next month.

The New York Public Library is having a Shaw celebration which features, among other things, an Oct. 24 reading of the play starring Dana Ivey.

But Actor's Rep will have it earlier: Sept. 23-Oct. 8 at SFCC's Spartan Theatre, to be exact.
