Arms and the Man is a comedy by George Bernard Shaw, whose title comes from the opening words of Virgil’s Aeneid in Latin: Arma virumque cano (“Arms and the man I sing”). Set during the four-month-long Serbo-Bulgarian War (November 1885–March 1886), this play is a satire on the foolishness of glorifying something so terrible as war, as well as a satire on the foolishness of basing affections on idealistic notions of love.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring Al Espinosa, Jeremy Sisto, Teri Garr, Anne Heche, Micahel Winters, Jason Kravits, and Sarah Rafferty.

DURATION: About a 1.5 hour performance.
