Plays Political

The Apple Cart, On the Rocks, Geneva

by George Bernard Shaw ...

While some of Shaw’s earlier plays are still performed, his later plays, such as the ones in this volume, are barely known. As the collective title indicates, the themes here are political; yet, frankly, it is doubtful how seriously we can now take Shaw as a political thinker. Despite writing in the 1930s, he has little to say of the nature of totalitarianism: although he satirises Fascist ... Read more

The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet and Fanny's First Play
