Arms and the Man
Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw. In this classic romantic comedy of great wit and insight, nothing works exactly as the romantics say it should, with a young heroine coming to a more realistic understanding of love, money, and war through a mysterious intruder to whom she gives shelter one night. Shaw shows her transformation through brilliant plotting that drives the comic action to a wonderful conclusion. Today, when lofty patriotic ideals are summoned in support of less-than-noble causes, Shaw's scathing satire and political savvy seem more relevant than ever.
