Great Catherine

Set in the court of Catherine the Great, the narrative follows a young British officer tasked with improving Anglo-Russian relations. His severe misunderstanding of the political climate places him in jeopardy, forcing him to seek Catherine's mercy for his survival. George Bernard Shaw, known for his impactful social commentary and revival of English theatre, infuses this play with themes of social injustice and the pursuit of a higher moral standard, reflecting his broader vision for humanity's potential.
