Description
George Bernard Shaw wrote this play about misalliance, the clash of classes, ages, and ideas in love and marriage. A country house party brings together parents, daughters, and suitors, and Shaw turns their talk into a debate on sex, money, and freedom, with his usual wit and paradox.
Shaw's characters argue as much as they love, and the play's famous long scenes test every convention of courtship. His spelling and punctuation, kept as printed, add to the flavour. Misalliance is a bold Shaw comedy of ideas, for readers who like theatre that thinks as hard as it laughs.
