One in the quartet of Shaw’s Plays Pleasant, Candida is comedic refutation of romantic love.

The play is ignited when the young man confesses his love for Candida to her husband, a pious clergyman named Morell. Tickets are available online at columbuscivic.org, by phone (614) 447-PLAY, and at the Civics’ box office on the night of performance. Artistic Director Richard Albert directs.
