	From British Drama 1890 to 1950
		Ghosts* was a play that proved its point—that convention haunts the living from the grave—by eliciting the very response from some of its critics that it exposed as ghost-ridden in the play.
		These plays are remarkable in their attempt, not entirely successful, to avoid melodrama, to break down character stereotypes, and, in the longer plays, to give more depth and variety to the plot than was usual in melodrama and farce.
		The play is the story of a charming lady who, instead of forgiving a philandering but abjectly apologetic husband, as the worldly-wise raisonneur would counsel, decides to retaliate with a little romantic adventure of her own.

	George Bernard Shaw: Plays Pleasant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Not having read the earlier collection, I'm not quite sure what makes a play pleasant or unpleasant; I guess that it's to do with whether it is trying to impart a non-dramatic message.
		The four short plays here are not really anything other than fun comedies; there is a hint of a social message here and there (particularly in Candida and You Never Can Tell), but it is incidental to the plays themselves.
		The play develops into a battle of wits between him and her.

	English at Trent - Arms and the Man
		The original staging of the play was so well received that Shaw's reputation as one of the greatest wits in the London drama scene was almost instantly established.
		The setting of the play is in war-torn Bulgaria, and focusses not only on the romance between the young people of the play, but the atrocities that go on during war times and the ability of people not so very far removed from these atrocities to ignore them completely.
		Sergius, her betrothed at the start of the play, goes through a similar transformation, realising that there must be more to himself than the two dimensional ideal of the soldier that young ladies seem to worship.

		Warren's Profession savagely attack social hypocrisy, while in plays such as Arms and the Man and The Man of Destiny the criticism is less fierce.
		In the plays of his later period discussion sometimes drowns the drama, in Back to Methuselah (1921), although in the same period he worked on his masterpiece Saint Joan (1923), in which he rewrites the well-known story of the French maiden and extends it from the Middle Ages to the present.
		Other important plays by Shaw are Caesar and Cleopatra (1901), a historical play filled with allusions to modern times, and Androcles and the Lion (1912), in which he exercised a kind of retrospective history and from modern movements drew deductions for the Christian era.
