4.0

In this classic play, George Bernard Shaw provides a parody of the fallacies of the pre-war generation of the British upper classes. At times bizarre, this play was an enjoyable jaunt back into the work of Shaw which I had not visited in a long time. Some of the characters were a particular joy while others enlivened a truly opposite sentiment. The play moves at a brisk pace with quick witty dialogue.
