About this listen

 This witty masterpiece combines high comedy with social commentary as it deflates romantic misconceptions of love and warfare. First produced on the London stage in 1894, Arms and the Man is one of the most frequently acted and studied of Shaw's plays.

When Arms and The Man premiered, Shaw was already a celebrity art critic and socialist lecturer. It was so successful that it immediately established him as one of the greatest wits of London's theatre scene. Shaw subtitled the play "An Anti-Romantic Comedy".

This popped up in my Plus catalogue and as it was short and also by swell known writer I thought why not. Listened to it in one go and it was great. Set from a home where a European war was taking place you hear the different interpretations within that family and their loves. Great performance and great story

What a fun play
