Publisher's Synopsis
""The Philanderer"" is a play written by the renowned Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw. The story follows the life of Leonard Charteris, a charming and witty philanderer who finds himself torn between two women - his current lover, Julia Craven, and his former flame, Grace Tranfield. As Leonard tries to navigate the complexities of his relationships, he also grapples with the societal norms and expectations that come with being a man in Victorian England. The play explores themes of love, marriage, gender roles, and the consequences of one's actions. Through sharp dialogue and clever satire, Shaw offers a critique of the hypocrisy and double standards of his time. ""The Philanderer"" is a thought-provoking and entertaining work that continues to captivate audiences over a century after its initial publication.THIS 92 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plays: Pleasant and Unpleasant The First Volume Containing the Three Unpleasant Plays, by George Bernard Shaw.
