Plays by George Bernard Shaw

Plays by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw demanded truth and despised convention. He punctured hollow pretensions and smug prudishnessâ€”coating his criticism with ingenious and irreverent wit. In Mrs. Warrenâ€™s Profession, Arms and the Man, Candida, and Man and Superman, the great playwright satirizes society, military heroism, marriage, and the pursuit of man by woman. From a social, literary, and theatrical standpoint, these four plays are among the foremost dramas of the ageâ€”as intellectually stimulating as they are thoroughly enjoyable.
