Even the playwrite George Bernard Shaw can pen a stinker. And that’s the bottom line on plot of The Millionairess at the Olney Theatre Center.
Set in the 1930s, Brittan’s richest woman, Epifania, has bored of her celebrity athlete husband and is looking for love and happiness. She’s a self-absorbed, overly-dramatic woman of privilege without a hint of self-awareness or concern for others.
She dramatically contemplates suicide with her attorney, if only to inconvenience others and...

At the same time as the 2009 Capital Fringe Festival, Chicago’s own The Second City brings its legendary improv comedy troupe to Washington, DC and the Woolly Mammoth Theatre.
And can the subject mater be any riper? A new President from Chicago, a corrupt Illinois Governor tossed out of office and a questionable Senate seat filled, a bid by Chicago for the 2016 summer Olympics and some typical Chicago politics makes for business as usual in the “City that Worsks Works”.
