Plays Unpleasant: Widowers' Houses/The Philanderer/Mrs. Warren's Profession more books like this

by George Bernard Shaw, David Edgar (Introduction by), Dan H Laurence (Text by)

With "Plays Unpleasant", Shaw issued a radical challenge to his audiences' complacency and exposed social evils through his dramatization of the moral conflicts between youthful idealism and economic reality, promiscuity and marriage, and the duties of women to others and to themselves. His first play, "Widowers' Houses", depicts Harry Trench's ...

Plays Pleasant

by George Bernard Shaw, Bernard Shaw, Dan H Laurence (Editor)

One of Bernard Shaw's most glittering comedies, "Arms and the Man" is a burlesque of Victorian attitudes to heroism, war and empire. In the contrast between Bluntschli, the mercenary soldier, and the brave leader, Sergius, the true nature of valour is revealed.

Plays Political

Plays Political more books like this

by George Bernard Shaw, Dan H Laurence (Editor)

While some of Shaw's earlier plays are still performed, his later plays, such as the ones in this volume, are barely known. As the collective title indicates, the themes here are political; yet, frankly, it is doubtful how seriously we can now take Shaw as a political thinker. Despite writing in the 1930s, he has little to say of the nature of ...

The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet: And Fanny's First Play more books like this

by George Bernard Shaw, Bernard Shaw, Dan H Laurence (Editor)

'A tearing, flaring, revivalist drama' was how Desmond MacCarthy described The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet. Set in America's Wild West and aptly subtitled "A Sermon in Crude Melodrama", this single-act play concerns the conversion of a horse thief desperate to 'keep the devil' in him and die game. Published in 1909, it brought Shaw into conflict ...

Bernard Shaw, who made in reputation as a playwright in London, and Augusta Gregory, founder-director of the Abbey Theatre in Dublins, are generally considered as belonging to different theatrical traditions. But in 1909, when the Abbey produced The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet, which had been banned in England, there began a close involvement of ...
