Millionaire armaments dealer Andrew Undershaft loves money and despises poverty. His daughter Barbara aids the poor by working as a Major in the Salvation Army. Times are tough, the economy is hurting and donations are down. Will Barbara accept money that her father obtained through arms? Laced with ironic humour and social satire, Shaw's masterpiece retains its relevance at a time when new technologies drive the globalisation of trade and ancient forms of brutality and carnage have reappeared.
