The Play Podcast - 057 - Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw
Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Iavn Wise
The Play Podcast is a podcast dedicated to exploring the greatest new and classic plays. In each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing.
G.B. Shaw's Arms and the Man is both a sparkling romantic comedy and a telling satire of love, war and social pretension. It was Shaw's first public success as a playwright when it premiered in London in 1894, and is currently enjoying an acclaimed revival at the Orange Tree theatre in Richmond, Surrey.
I'm joined by Shaw expert Ivan Wise, who is a previous editor of The Shavian, the journal of the Shaw Society.
