By George Bernard Shaw

Book Overview

The Doctor's Dilemma, Getting Married, and The Showing Up of Blanco Posnet is a collection of three plays by the renowned Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw. The first play, The Doctor's Dilemma, is a satirical comedy that explores the ethical dilemma faced by a group of doctors when they must choose which patient to treat due to limited resources. The second play, Getting Married, is a witty comedy that delves into the societal norms and expectations surrounding marriage, and how they may be challenged or subverted. The third play, The Showing Up of Blanco Posnet, is a one-act play that tells the story of a cowboy who is put on trial for a murder he may or may not have committed. Through these three plays, Shaw showcases his signature wit, social commentary, and incisive critique of human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
