Shaw’s wickedly witty comedy, The Philanderer, according to press notes, "follows a day in the life of a roguish gentleman (Kudisch) doing his best to avoid making a commitment to either of the two women (Armbruster and Molina) who may or may not actually want him to. In The Philanderer, Shaw takes on most of the classic Shaw issues, questioning societal expectations, sex, relationships, sense of self, science, religion and politics."
