You Never Can Tell

George Bernard Shaw

You Never Can Tell

You Never Can Tell

George Bernard Shaw

Comedy & Satire, Drama

The Clandon family, a fiercely independent mother and her three adult children—the vivacious twins Dolly and Phil, and the intellectual Gloria—return to England after years abroad. Their bohemian idyll is shattered when Gloria, a staunch advocate for female autonomy, captivates a penniless dentist named Valentine. A seemingly innocuous lunch invitation spirals into a comedic maelstrom as Valentine's landlord is revealed to be none other than Mrs. Clandon's long-estranged husband, who she abandoned decades prior. What ensues is a delightful entanglement of mistaken identities, societal expectations, and burgeoning romance, all observed with a keen, satirical eye.
