George Bernard Shaw





Candida, a comedy by playwright George Bernard Shaw, was first published in 1898, as part of his Plays Pleasant. The central characters are clergyman James Morell, his wife Candida and a youthful poet, Eugene Marchbanks, who tries to win Candida's affections. The play questions Victorian notions of love and marriage, asking what a woman really desires from her husband. The cleric is a Fabian Socialist, allowing Shaw—himself a Fabian—to weave political issues, current at the time, into the story. (Summary from Wikipedia)

Simply wonderful! This year I have read 5 or 6 Shavian masterpieces. For me, this outshines them all! And what a splendid production this is. Thank you so much!
Excellent!

Excellent story and dramatic reading by the volunteers.
Weakest of (brilliant) George Bernard Shaw's plays I've read.
