This collection presents three incisive dramas from a master of modern theater. The first, a sharp political comedy, chronicles the complexities of Anglo-Irish relations through a returning Irishman's perspective in John Bull's Other Island. Following this, a delightful one-act farce, How He Lied To Her Husband, satirizes romantic entanglements and poetic declarations. The volume concludes with a powerful social commentary, Major Barbara, that argues for a re-evaluation of conventional morality and philanthropy in the face of industrial power. Each play illustrates the author's signature wit and intellectual depth, offering both entertainment and profound insights into societal structures.
