A social satire once considered too shocking for the general public (withheld twelve years before censors allowed a performance), Shaw’s play follows the misadventures of Leonard Charteris, whose simultaneous involvement with two women wreaks havoc on his social life while sharpening his wit. Reputedly a self-portrait, the comedy is a satire on Shaw’s own pet causes, intellectual freedom in the Ibsenite manner, and Feminism as celebrated in the Shavian manner.
