More about the book

Set in a country house conservatory during the Edwardian era, this play explores themes of marriage, Socialism, and women's liberation. It builds on ideas from Shaw's earlier work, "Getting Married," and addresses the evolving role of women seeking to break free from Victorian constraints. The characters navigate social expectations while engaging in discussions about physical fitness and the concept of the "Life Force," reflecting Shaw's progressive views on gender and societal norms.
