George Bernard Shaw labeled his plays "pleasant" and "unpleasant," and his early work You Never Can Tell (1898) is arguably the pleasantest of them all. High comedy, true romance and seaside dentistry! In this social comedy set in an English seaside town, a chance encounter with a dentist named Valentine foils Mrs. Clandon's attempts to shield her children... from their father. The New York Post calls You Never Can Tell, "winning, graceful, and charming."

More Information About You Never Can Tell

Description

You Never Can Tell is an 1899 play by G. Bernard Shaw set in a seaside town. It tells the story of Mrs. Clandon and her three children, Dolly, Phillip and Gloria, who have just returned to England after an eighteen year stay in Madeira.

The children have no idea who their father is and, through a comedy of errors, end up inviting him to a family lunch. At the same time
struggling dentist named Mr. Valentine has fallen in love with the
eldest daughter, Gloria. However Gloria considers herself a modern woman and claims to have no interest in love or marriage.

The play continues with a comedy of errors and confused identities with the friendly and wise waiter, Walter dispensing his wisdom with the phrase "You Never Can Tell."
