Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw, which is under the leadership of founding artistic director David Staller, will continue May 12 at 7 PM with George Bernard Shaw’s Heartbreak House at Symphony Space’s Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre.

Directed by Staller, the cast will include Fritz Weaver (Captain Shotover), Maryann Plunkett (Hesione Hushabye), Amelia Pedlow (Ellie Dunn), Tony Sheldon (Mazzini Dunn), Jeff McCarthy (Boss Mangan), Reg Rogers (Hector Hushabye), Veanne Cox (Lady Ariadne Utterword), Adam Feldman (Randall Utterword), Charlotte Rae (Nurse Guinnes) and Robert Hock (Burglar). Marina Staller-Stern will be featured on flute. Maggie Buchwald will narrate.

In Heartbreak House, press notes state, "George Bernard Shaw’s comic exploration of love and social mores, an unexpected family reunion leads to fireworks both indoors and out. Set on the brink of World War I, Ellie Dunn, her father and her fiancée attend a house party at the home of eccentric Captain Shotover. The guests are soon divided by Ellie’s pragmatic decision to marry for money, not love."

Upcoming Project Shaw events include Getting Married (June 23), A 'Super Shaw' Evening (July 28), Village Wooing (Sept. 29), An Ibsen Evening (Oct. 27), The Millionairess (Nov. 24) and Major Barbara (Dec. 22).

Now in its ninth year, Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw made history in December 2009 as the first company ever to present performances of every one of Shaw's 65 plays (including full-length works, one-acts and sketches).
