Fannys First Play

6.0分

George Bernard Shaw
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) is revered as one of the great British dramatists, credited not only with memorable works, but the revival of the then-suffering English theatre. Shaw was born in Dublin, Ireland, left mostly to his own devices after his mother ran off to London to pursue a musical career. He educated himself for the most part, and eventually worked for a real estate agent. This experience founded in him a concern for social injustices, seeing poverty and general unfairness afoot, and would go on to address this in many of his works. In 1876, Shaw joined his mother in London where he would finally attain literary success. Written in 1911, Fanny's First Play was at first written anonymously, then later accredited to George Bernard Shaw. This work is a play within a play, with the main intention of satirizing theatre critics.

Mrs. Warrens Profession

6.0分

George Bernard Shaw
Written in 1893, Mrs. Warren's Profession skewers the hypocrisy of British society. The wealthy, respectable title character's "profession" is the world's oldest, but Mrs. Warren is unprepared for the reaction of her daughter Vivie when she discovers her mother's occupation. Shaw brings new life to the woman-with-a-past theme with wit and a defense of his heroine.

You Never Can Tell, by Shaw, George Bernard - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - One of Shaw, George Bernard's sunniest plays, You Never Can Tell is a comedy of love and mistaken identity. Mrs. Clandon has returned to England with her three children after an extended stay abroad. Having abandoned her husband long ago, she finds herself unexpectedly dining with him at a family lunch in a remarkable series of coincidences. Can these two strong wills be reunited with the help of an extraordinary waiter? And will Mrs. Clandon's independent-minded daughter fall for the charms of a handsome dentist? First produced in 1897, You Never Can Tell combines Shaw's characteristic lively dialogue with a charmingly absurd story.

Fannys First Play

6.0分

George Bernard Shaw
Fanny's First Play, being but a potboiler, needs no preface. But its lesson is not, I am sorry to say, unneeded. Mere morality, or the substitution of custom for conscience was once accounted a shameful and cynical thing: people talked of right and wrong, of honor and dishonor, of sin and grace, of salvation and damnation, not of morality and immorality. The word morality, if we met it in the Bible, would surprise us as much as the word telephone or motor car. Nowadays we do not seem to know that there is any other test of conduct except morality; and the result is that the young had better have their souls awakened by disgrace, capture by the police, and a month's hard labor, than drift along from their cradles to their graves doing what other people do for no other reason than that other people do it, and knowing nothing of good and evil, of courage and cowardice, or indeed anything but how to keep hunger and concupiscence and fashionable dressing within the bounds of good taste except when their excesses can be concealed.
