You Never Can Tell

By George Bernard Shaw

Book Overview

You Never Can Tell is a play written by George Bernard Shaw. The story revolves around a family of four, the Clandons, who have been living in Madeira for the past 18 years. They return to England to settle some legal matters and end up at a seaside resort where they encounter a dentist named Valentine and his friend, a waiter named William. The play is a comedy of errors as the Clandons try to navigate their way through English society and relationships. The themes of the play include love, marriage, and the class system. The play was first performed in 1897 and has since been adapted for film and television.McCOMAS. Howled at My dear good lady: there is nothing in any of those views now-a-days to prevent her from marrying a bishop. You reproached me just now for having become respectable. You were wrong: I hold to our old opinions as strongly as ever. I don't go to church; and I don't pretend I do. I call myself what I am: a Philosophic Radical, standing for liberty and the rights of the individual, as I learnt to do from my master Herbert Spencer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
