Candida Reviews
Washington Post- Recommended
"...In Washington Stage Guild’s sometimes starchy but brisk and watchable production of George Bernard Shaw’s “Candida,” Ribler’s version of the poet Eugene Marchbanks provides both the chief entertainment value and the narrative logic. When this fidgety, tousled youth flings himself moodily into a chair to sulk about utilitarian values, or glowers with statuesque defiance like an Eton schoolboy pining for a duel, he is both a hugely diverting figure and a convincing threat to the status quo."
DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended
"...The production of Candida currently appearing at the Washington Stage Guild (WSG) proves why the play inspired Candidamania and why Shaw has remained one of the world’s most beloved playwrights."

"...Shaw’s Candida is on the cusp of the emerging modern woman, a plum role to showcase a character of gentle grace, wit, and a sense of irony. Candida is presented with a choice of two men who profess to love her, and while she’s still corseted to make the obvious pre-determined choice, her reasoning hints at self-determination and agency with solid self-assurance. Peeking back at the early glimmers of such an expression of female empowerment is assuring, enlightening and remarkably satisfying."
