About this item
Product details
This valuable collection containing six of Shaw's greatest plays offers a representative sampling of his genius. Mrs. Warren's Profession deals with the world's oldest craft and satirizes attitudes that still exist about sexual relations more than 100 years after the play was written. Caesar and Cleopatra claims to be an improvement on the Shakespeare version, and Man and Superman shows Don Juan as a sort of Bertie Wooster. Major Barbara takes a jab at religious professionalism, and Heartbreak House explores the superficialities of the leisure class. The collection is rounded out by the ever-popular Pygmalion, which was the basis for the immortal My Fair Lady. It would take many volumes to hold Shaw's entire bibliography, but for a delicious sampling at a very low price, this book is unique. The playwright would be pleased, too, at the book's affordability: he so believed in economic parity that when awarded his Nobel, he accepted the honor but refused the money. --Nancy Starr
