Man and Superman

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century societal norms, this four-act drama explores themes of love, morality, and the nature of humanity through a modern interpretation of the Don Juan legend. Shaw addresses critics who challenged his lack of a Don Juan play, ultimately leading to a unique narrative that combines wit and philosophical discourse. Although it premiered without its third act, the complete work was finally staged in 1915, showcasing Shaw's innovative approach to character and dialogue.
