Patrick comes home unexpectedly from the seminary and older brother Johnny's not slow to tap him for money. Mum is suspicious, Dad seems indifferent, and pissed, and little sister Cath is distracted and medicated.
Nobody Will Ever Forgive Us is the story of a family under siege. Living on their wits and stalked by violence, they defend themselves with the blackest of humour.
The play was produced as part of the National Theatre of Scotland/Traverse Theatre's Debuts season and premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in November 2008.
'A keen sense of theatrical dynamics, vigorous dialogue and ready wit.' Guardian

Nobody Will Ever Forgive Us
This is a play by the literary giant George Bernard Shaw. Shaw was of course a advocate of liberal and socialist thought. He was also a good friend and sparring partner with one of my favorites, G.K. Chesterton. This play is about a doctor who has recently been knighted for his development of a cure of Tuberculosis. He has only enough time and resources to take on one more patient, and he is faced with the decision to cure a good but poor medical colleague or a talented artist who is a bit of a con-artist.
The play is comic and demonstrates his humor (or humour since he's British) and wit, but touches on very serious themes of morality, medical ethics, and socialized health care. Basically, what is pictured in this play are doctor's who are driven, not by patient care but by self-interest and profitability. Thus, it is a kind of indictment against capitalistic health-care systems. And for that reason, it feels as if it is as relevant today as it was originally in 1906.
I think you will enjoy it, even if ultimately you don't subscribe to its worldview.
(I listed to this as an audiobook performed by the L.A. Theater Co. I recommend it.)
