## Snapshot

A husband entangled in the marital cross-purposes of Overruled, whose respectable surface conceals appetites that Shaw's comedy will not let him keep hidden.

## Who they are

Gregory Sibthorpe belongs to the world of Overruled, where married couples discover that their spouses have been conducting parallel flirtations abroad. His composure as a husband is tested when the very conventions he relies on begin to expose his own inconsistencies. He matters because his predicament forces the play's early comedy to ask whether marriage is a contract of love or merely a well-managed arrangement.
