From the PCS website:

Nearly a hundred years since this farcical comedy of manners premiered, it is just as fresh, funny and bitingly witty as when Shaw first wrote it. Misalliance is an ironic examination of the varietal mating instincts of the guests gathered at an aristocrat’s country estate on a summer weekend. By the play’s conclusion, a total of eight marriage proposals have been made in the course of a single summer afternoon. The question of whether any one of these proposals might result in an auspicious alliance — or a misalliance — prompts one of the prospective husbands to make the famous Shavian speculation that… “If marriages were made by putting all the men’s names into one sack and the women’s names into another, and having them taken out by a blind-folded child like lottery numbers, there would be just as high a percentage of happy marriages as we have now.” While this proclamation ruffled critics and shocked audiences in Shaw’s day, modern critics and audiences have gleefully embraced this delightful comedy.
