Ive an actress in the family and she is playing the part of Vivie. Mrs. Warrens daughter.I was unfamiliar with the play. and was interested in reading it. I found it amazing that for the era in which it was written. it proselytized that a woman could be happier in a career she liked than being married!The play is well worth reading. giving an insight into how people lived and behaved at that time.There are four plays in the book: Arms and the Man. Candida. Man and Superman. and Mrs Warrens Profession. The plays are different. all are interesting.I recommend it. Its a paperback and easy to carry around.23 of 23 people found the following review helpful. A Good Shaw OverviewBy Maggie TulliverThis would be an excellent collection to have for anyone looking for a taste of Shaws basic philosophies about socialism--and of course. a good way of finding out how his writing suits you.Some thought provoking social statements are made in all four plays. though some of the prefaces might be more informative about the author than the plays themselves. Great witticisms and depsite the sometimes heavy philosophy. the reading is light and quick. The last play. Man And Superman. perhaps his most significant play in terms of philosophy. pure and simple. would be fun reading but the socialists handbook given at the end would definitely not be everyones cup of tea. unless theyre philosophy students. This can be skipped without spoiling the play though. which contains some of the most excellent dialogue Ive come across in a play with philosophical overtones.All Oscar Wilde and Chesterton lovers would appreciate the epigrams and the witty one-liners. If for nothing else. Shaw is worth reading for his lovely style of execution. the flowing conversations and some uncanny insight.23 of 25 people found the following review helpful. The best of GBSBy Joanna D.This should be required reading just for the "Don Juan in Hell" act of Man and Superman --an excerpt "Your friends are all the dullest dogs I know. They are not beautiful: they are only decorated. They are not clean: they are only shaved and starched. They are not dignified: they are only fashionably dressed. They are not educated: they are only college passmen. They are not religious: they are only pewrenters. They are not moral: they are only conventional. They are not virtuous: they are only cowardly...."One of my science teachers recited this famous speech in the lab one day. just to show off. and I started appreciating Shaw. Funny thing is that of all the playwrights. GBS is the best just to read. Except for Pygmalion and maybe Arms and the Man. most of Shaws plays are too "talky" to stage well. but read like short stories. If you havent read them. you are in for a treat.
