Man and Superman

The drama explores themes of societal norms and personal freedom through the interactions between Ann, Roebuck Ramsden, and Jack Tanner. Ann's decision to choose Tanner, a man of radical ideas, over her traditional admirer Octavious Robinson highlights the conflict between old values and new ideologies. Shaw's wit and philosophical insights create a compelling narrative that challenges conventional views on love and marriage. This 1903 play remains a significant work, enhanced by a new biographical introduction, making it a must-read for fans of Shaw.
