Gingold Theatrical Group to Stage Gender‑Neutral Village Wooing Off‑Broadway

An intimate four‑performance salon presentation opens both roles to any gender to foreground the play’s contemporary resonance and direct ticket revenue to GTG’s Shaw programs.

Overview

  • Gingold Theatrical Group announced a new gender‑neutral adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s Village Wooing, adapted and to be directed by artistic director David Staller.
  • The production will be offered as a Salon Presentation in the atmospheric library of The House of the Redeemer with a brief four‑performance run in late October.
  • Staller’s version opens Shaw’s two roles, originally identified as “A” and “Z,” to performers of any gender so the play’s language and emotional thread remain intact while casting is broadened.
  • Casting has not yet been announced and ticket proceeds from the run will directly support GTG’s initiatives, including Project Shaw, Speakers’ Corner, and other development programs.
  • Village Wooing is a short, two‑character 1933 comedy about two independent people whose argument turns to attraction, a format that suits intimate stagings and contemporary reinterpretation.
