In Bernard Shaw's satirical play The Doctor's Dilemma, the renowned surgeon Sir Colenso Ridgeon faces a moral dilemma: he can only save one of five patients with a rare and potentially fatal disease. Ridgeon, a brilliant but arrogant man, is torn between his desire to save lives and his own personal ambitions. He ultimately chooses to operate on a wealthy and influential patient, sparking outrage and controversy. The play explores themes of social inequality, the ethics of medicine, and the corrupting influence of money and power.

 

Getting Married by Bernard Shaw is a witty and thought-provoking play that explores the complexities of marriage and relationships. Set in early 20th-century England, the play follows a group of characters as they grapple with the social and legal constraints of marriage. Through their lively and often humorous conversations, Shaw challenges traditional notions of love, commitment, and personal freedom. The play is a timeless exploration of the human condition and remains relevant today.
