The play follows the story of a young Irishman named Broadbent who travels to England to seek funding for a business venture in his home country. While in England, he becomes involved with a group of English intellectuals and politicians who attempt to reform Ireland through cultural and economic means.The play is a critique of the British view of Ireland and the Irish people, as well as a commentary on the relationship between England and Ireland at the turn of the 20th century. Through its witty and often irreverent dialogue, Shaw explores themes of cultural identity, nationalism, imperialism, and the role of politics in shaping society.This edition of the play includes a preface written by Shaw in 1916, in which he reflects on the political and social changes that had taken place in Ireland since the play's initial publication. The preface provides additional context for readers and highlights the ongoing relevance of the play's themes and ideas.
