This satirical play, Geneva, chronicles a fictional international court where various dictators and world leaders are put on trial, exposing the absurdities and hypocrisies of political power. The narrative presents a sharp critique of totalitarianism and the failures of diplomacy in the face of escalating global tensions. Shaw's witty dialogue and incisive characterizations illustrate the clash of ideologies and the human folly that often underpins grand political ambitions. The work argues for a more rational and humane approach to governance, even as it lampoons the very institutions designed to achieve it. This compelling drama offers a timeless commentary on leadership and the pursuit of justice on a global stage.
