One of the world's greatest playwrights, George Bernard Shaw tackles the moral dilemmas created by limited medical resources. Who decides who gets treatment if those treatments are scarce or costly, examining the public good versus private interests? First staged in 1906, it was ultimately adapted to film starring Leslie Caron and Dirk Bogarde.
Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in December 1998.
