George Bernard Shaw has been called the second greatest playwright in English (after William Shakespeare) and one of the inventors of modern celebrity as the most famous public intellectual of his time. Beginning in the 1880s, as a critic and as a playwright, he transformed British drama, bringing to it intellectual substance, ethical imperatives, and modernity itself, setting the theatrical course for the subsequent century. That his legacy endures 70 years after his death is testament to the prescience of his thinking and his prolific creativity.

Veronica Silver’s life feels like an endless list of "what ifs"? Pregnant at 16, her strict father shoved her into a loveless marriage, far away from the woman she truly loved.

Fathers and the daughters they find, girls and the dogs they've loved, and a woman from Kansas with a cyclone in her heart — each discovers what happens when people go too far, love too hard, and take too much on their way Out of the Woods.

When a piano falls from the sky above her, Veronica Silver takes cover in a subway station. But the lone figure that she finds there is a far more frightening force than what she’s just escaped: he’s a salesman. And what he’s selling are memories - a lifetime of secrets reframed by a chilling question: “What if?” Pregnant at 16, but in love with the girl driving her to the clinic to “make things right", conflicted Veronica kept her baby. But now, eight years later, trapped in a loveless marriage to the father of her child, she questions every choice she’s ever made.

Not at all.
