News Project Shaw's Doctor's Dilemma to Feature Golden, Irving, Morton, Murray and More The Project Shaw series will continue March 22 with a reading of George Bernard Shaw's The Doctor's Dilemma.

The reading at the Players Club in Manhattan will boast the talents of Rufus Collins, Annie Golden, George S.

David Cote (Time Out New York) will narrate the evening, which will be hosted by Gordon Cox (Variety). Show time is 7 PM.

In The Doctor's Dilemma, press notes state, "Jennifer Dubedat (McCormick) idolizes her artist husband, Louis (Pisoni), but he is dying. She convinces a famous doctor (Murray) to use a rare treatment to cure him. But when he meets Louis, he discovers that he is a roguish scoundrel and may not be worth saving. In fact, the good doctor may have fallen in love with Jennifer. So, kill or cure? Shaw takes on the medical profession with his usual razor-sharp and uncompromising wit."

The new season will continue April 19 with John Bull's Other Island, May 24 with Major Barbara, June 21 with Village Wooing, July 19 with Candida, Sept. 27 with Man and Superman, Oct. 25 with Cap't Brassbound's Conversion, Nov. 22 with How He Lied to Her Husband and Dec. 20 with Heartbreak House.
