Although his plays focus on ideas and issues, they are enlivened by fascinating characters, a brilliant command of language, and dazzling wit. &&L/P&&R&&LP&&ROne of Shaw's finest and most devilish comedies, &&LI&&RMan and Superman &&L/I&&Rportrays Don Juan as the quarry instead of the huntsman. John Tanner, upon discovering that his beautiful ward plans to marry him, flees to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, where he is captured by a group of rebels. Tanner falls asleep, and dreams the famous "Don Juan in Hell" sequence, which features a sparkling Shavian debate among Don Juan, the Devil, and a talkative statue. With its fairy-tale ending and a cast literally from hell, &&LI&&RMan and Superman&&L/I&&R is a hilarious cocktail of farce, Nietzschean philosophy, and Mozart's &&LI&&RDon Giovanni&&L/I&&R. &&LP&&RAlso included in this volume are &&LI&&RCandida&&L/I&&R, Shaw's first real success on the stage, &&LI&&RMrs. Warren's Profession&&L/I&&R, which poked fun at the Victorian attitude toward prostitution, and &&LI&&RThe Devil's Disciple&&L/I&&R, a play set during the American Revolution.&&L/P&&R&&LP&&R&&LB&&RJohn A.
