Major Barbara

Librivox's "Major Barbara" is complete! In case you missed earlier information, Major Barbara is a play by George Bernard Shaw (who also wrote Pygmalion). It is about a strong, unconventional young woman from an aristocratic family working for the Salvation Army. Her beliefs are challenged when her estranged father returns a millionaire from making weapons to stir up trouble. I play Jenny Hill, a volunteer at the Salvation Army. My dad got a part too! He plays Peter Shirley, an unemployed man who Jenny and Barbara help.

I saw the 1941 movie adaptation with my parents before recording. It was a little bizarre and the ending threw me off. Anyway here are some pictures...
