Plays Unpleasant by George Bernard Shaw, Киев

With the plays in this 1898 collection- Widower's Houses , The Philanderer , and Mrs. Warren's Profession -Shaw challenges his audiences' moral complacency in the face of serious social problems and inequities. Author George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was one of the most prolific writers of the modern theater. He invented the modern comedy of ideas, expounding on social and political problems with a razor-sharp tongue, yet never sacrificing the comic vitality that ensures regular revivals of his plays.
