Plays Pleasant

Includes four plays: ARMS AND THE MAN, CANDIDA, THE MAN OF DESTINY and YOU NEVER CAN TELL. The opening night of ARMS AND THE MAN (1894) made Shaw "the most formidable man in modern letters" (W. B. Yeats). Set in the Balkan mountains, this drama plays with the distinction between allies and enemies, and heroes and cowards. CANDIDA presents the complicated relationship between a vicar, his wife, and her young admirer.
