This brilliant play was originally banned as immoral due to its subject matter, though now it's lauded for its astute view of the corruption at the heart of Victorian society. Shaw takes on the topic of poverty vs. immorality in the context of Victorian society with great style and wit.
In this story a very bright young girl begins to grow suspicious about the mystery and people surrounding her wealthy mother, and this leads her to a discovery that shakes her world to its very foundation but also explains the strange behavior of the people around her. This new found knowledge greatly complicates her life but also causes some hilarious situations to arise.
George Bernard Shaw created numerous masterpieces over the span of his writing career. He has the distinction of being the only person to ever be awarded both an Oscar and the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was a very humble and conscientious man, a political activist and a vegetarian. His conscientiousness shows in his work by his inability to write meaningless fluff at a time when fluff dominated the stage. His trademark is his classic use of ample humor in dramas with serious subject matter. It takes a special kind of genius to be able to pull that off as flawlessly as he did.
