Story for The Madras House
Phillip Madras is the heir to a leading London fashion emporium established by his father Constantine, a legendary designer who has abandoned his family and the evils of the West, converted to Mohammedism, and established a polygamous household in Iraq. Constantine's return to England to sell the family business precipitates a series of loosely connected scenes that serve as "a merciless critique of that ragbag of attitudes we now call `family values.'"
Even in England THE MADRAS HOUSE is rarely revived, with only three notable productions in the last seventy-five years. Now, for the first time since 1921, New York audiences will have an opportunity to see Granville-Barker’s dazzling comedy about men and women and sex and shopping (and marriage and children and art and education.)
