Shaw subtitled this 1908 play A Conversation. Set in the kitchen of the residence of the Bishop of Chelsea on the morning of his sixth (and last) daughter’s wedding, the action of the play begins as the family and a good number of the neighbors gather for the preparations. When the bride-to-be announces she has no intention of marrying – now or ever – she sparks a vociferous and lively discussion of the pros and cons of matrimony.

When the bridegroom enters with a similar sentiment, it is revealed that both have been sent informational pamphlets about the truths and legalities of marriage.

Shaw’s sparkling wit and dazzling language give way to a hysterical sociological experiment leaving everyone to ask, “Will they or won’t they, should they or shouldn’t they say, ‘I do!’”

Parking: Parking in the Village can be difficult, especially for Sunday Matinees. MST recommends that you arrive at least 20 minutes early to allow time to park and get to the theater. Remember, there is no late seating once the show starts.

Limited off street parking is available directly in front of the Rice Village Theater, and there is street parking all through out the village. Parallel parking can also be found on the east side of Kirby.

When the weather is nice, you might chose to park in the Village parking garage. The closest entrance can be found at Kelvin and Amherst, one block east and one block south of the Theater. There may be a nominal fee, but parking is free should you choose to dine at one of the Village Arcade eateries before the show.

We do ask that you be respectful of our neighbors and not park in any off street parking that is in front of open businesses. What's more, because of the nature of Village parking, many businesses will enforce towing.

The best way to beat the parking blues is to come early, find a convenient place near the theater and walk to a Village eatery for dinner or brunch!
