In Major Barbara, idealistic Barbara is a major in the Salvation Army, at odds with her millionaire father as they war over the best route to salvation. Androcles and the Lion is a clever retelling of the bible story about a gentle Christian who pulls a thorn from a lion's paw.Author: George Bernard Shaw
