Major Barbara

Major Barbara

At Olivier Theatre, National

Major Barbara works tirelessly for the Salvation Army until a large but morally dubious donation is welcomed from her estranged father, a millionaire weapons manufacturer. When she visits the factory, the well-fed workers in their thriving conditions make a devastating case for arms trade profits and a whole new set of ideals. See George Bernard Shaw's masterpiece, MAJOR BARBARA, today!

The Guardian


"Hayley Atwell. positively glows with spiritual fervour in the title role"
