Considered one of the finest plays by George Bernard Shaw, often deemed second only to Shakespeare in the pantheon of English playwrights, this witty satire challenges our cultural notions of romance, the glories of war, and authenticity. Though written over 100 years ago, young Riana’s journey of self-discovery still speaks to us today as she struggles to decide between her dashing fiancé and her sensitive “chocolate cream soldier.” Whom shall she choose?
