GCP's production of

Androcles and the Lion/A Marriage Proposal

Written by George Bernard Shaw
 

Directed by R. G. Selfridge

Shaw's comedy involves a Greek tailor, who finds it easier to be kind to animals than to his unkind wife, and the Romans that are not kind to anybody.
The man tames a lion, shames the Romans and saves the Christians from being thrown to the lions.
It's a battle of wits between the Romans and the Christians before the Coliseum games begin.
