Man and Superman

More about the book

The plot follows John Tanner, a staunch bachelor, as he navigates the persistent advances of Ann Whitefield, who embodies Shaw's belief that women are the driving force behind marriage across cultures. While often performed as a light comedy, the four-act drama delves into deeper themes, addressing the complexities of relationships and societal expectations. Shaw's work serves as both a response to the Don Juan theme and an exploration of gender dynamics in love and marriage.
