Script: George Bernard Shaw’s FARFETCHED FABLES (1950)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Concept:<\/strong> This adaptation of FARFETCHED FABLES is the rehearsal of several censored television broadcasts that were produced back in the days when television was almost always live. \u00a0Created in the era spanning I LOVE LUCY and Joseph McCarthy, this production of FABLES will draw on these and other sources to create a framework around George Bernard Shaw’s off-kilter text. \u00a0Acting for both the camera and stage space will be emphasized, and characters comprising the television production crew in the 50’s (not in the original script) will be developed by the acting team through improvisation.<\/em><\/p>\n
