Plays: Pleasant and Unpleasant is a collection of plays by the renowned Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw. The first volume of this collection contains three of Shaw's Unpleasant Plays, which were written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These plays are known for their social criticism and satirical tone, and they explore themes such as poverty, inequality, and the hypocrisy of the upper classes. The three plays included in this volume are Widowers' Houses, The Philanderer, and Mrs. Warren's Profession. Widowers' Houses follows the story of a young doctor who discovers that his future father-in-law is a slum landlord. The Philanderer is a comedy that satirizes the conventions of Victorian society, while Mrs. Warren's Profession is a controversial play that deals with the taboo topic of prostitution. Overall, this collection of plays showcases Shaw's unique style and his ability to use humor and wit to comment on important social issues of his time.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1898 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
