Back to Methuselah is Shaw’s 1921 play that tells the story of all humanity. Starting in the Garden of Eden and sailing up through the 32nd Century, this comedy tackles all the political and social issues Shaw is so notorious for.

“We’re offering an extremely rare opportunity to experience one of Shaw’s most outrageously ambitious comedies. Written after WWI to try to make sense of the global madness the world had just lived through, Shaw uses his most potent powers of irony and insight,” said Staller.

The 13th season will conclude December 17 with a selection from one of Shaw’s contemporaries: The Enchanted Cottage by Arthur Wing Pinero.

Tickets are $35 and are available by calling (212) 864-5400 or online at SymphonySpace.org. Special reserved VIP seating is available for $50 by contacting the Gingold office (212) 355-7823 or [email protected].
