The Shewing Up Of Blanco Posnet is a play written by George Bernard Shaw. It was first published in 1909 and is set in a small town in the American West. The play centers around the trial of Blanco Posnet, a cowboy who has been accused of stealing a horse and murdering the owner. The trial takes place in a makeshift courtroom, and the play explores themes of morality, justice, and the nature of truth. The play also features a cast of colorful characters, including a judge, a prosecutor, a defense attorney, and a group of townspeople who serve as the jury. Throughout the play, Shaw challenges the audience to question their assumptions about right and wrong and to consider the complexities of the human experience. The Shewing Up Of Blanco Posnet is a thought-provoking and engaging work that continues to be studied and performed today.BLANCO. Not they. Hanging's too big a treat for them to give up a fair chance. Ive done it myself. Ive yelled with the dirtiest of them when a man no worse than myself was swung up. Ive emptied my revolver into him, and persuaded myself that he deserved it and that I was doing justice with strong stern men. Well, my turn's come now.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
