The Millionairess is a play written in 1936 by George Bernard Shaw. It tells the story of Epifania, a spoilt heiress, and her search for a suitor.
Shaw wrote the play in 1936 expressly for Edith Evans.[1] Evans rejected the role, calling it "too icy". However, she did act the part in 1940, in a pre-London production tour in the provinces.
