Three Plays by Bernard Shaw: Misalliance, The Dark Lady of the Sonnets and Fanny's First Play.
Bernard Shaw's witty masterpiece, Misalliance, throws a well-to-do Edwardian family into chaos with the arrival of a penniless aviator and a runaway underwear model. The play explores themes of class, gender, and societal hypocrisy through a hilarious afternoon of unexpected alliances and sharp dialogue.
Paired with Misalliance are two shorter works: The Dark Lady of the Sonnets explores the identity of Shakespeare's mysterious muse, and Fanny's First Play offers a bitingly funny satire on censorship and family dynamics. This collection delves into Shaw's signature blend of social commentary and wit, making it a must-read for fans of classic comedies and insightful critiques.
With an piece written for parents and children at the beginning of the book.
