Arms and the Man

The master of wit and social comedy at his most entertaining and romantic. What makes a hero? What makes a good husband? Raina must choose between Captain Bluntschli, the practical man who prefers chocolates to cartridges and Sergius, the dashing hero of the mistaken cavalry charge that sent Bluntschli climbing into her bedroom window at night. Shaw’s most popular play is a charming tale of romance going awry with unexpected turns, mistaken identities and of course, the author’s always surprising opinions – on war and marriage, and everything else!
