Plays by George Bernard Shaw

<p>George Bernard Shaw demanded truth and despised convention. He punctured hollow pretensions and smug prudishness&mdash;coating his criticism with ingenious and irreverent wit. In <em>Mrs. Warren's Profession</em>,<em> Arms and the Man</em>,<em> Candida</em>, and <em>Man and Superman</em>, 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 age&mdash;as intellectually stimulating as they are thoroughly enjoyable.</p> <p>"My way of joking is to tell the truth: It is the funniest joke in the world."&mdash;G. B. Shaw</p> <p><strong>With an Introduction by Eric Bentley<br />and an Afterword by Norman Lloyd</strong></p>
