You Never Can Tell is a fast-paced, cleverly plotted social comedy set in an English seaside town at the turn of the 20th century. The play centres around the unconventional Clandon family – feminist author Mrs. Clandon and her three outspoken children – who have recently returned to England after years abroad. When they encounter their long-estranged father by chance, what follows is a riotous tangle of mistaken identities, romantic misunderstandings, and spirited debate about love, class, and modernity.

Originally written in 1897, Shaw’s play sparkles with wit and satirical insight, tackling timeless themes of generational conflict, gender roles, and the absurdity of social norms. It features a memorable cast of characters, including a philosophical waiter, a charming young dentist, and the wildly eccentric twins Dolly and Philip.
