This play of Shaw is about marriage and courting and its relation to man and nature. Very witty, but long. It clearly shows Shaw was way ahead of his time, and well versed in scientific theories like the 'selfish gene' of 21st century.I had a hard time getting the audio version of the play, it is pity BBC books go out of print and not available widely. The audio version brought out the subtle humour in the driver's accent and Mendoza's poems, which may otherwise lost when reading from a book. You will also like "Caesar and Cleopatra" (Caedmon) and "The Doctor's Dilemma" (CBC), (Heartbreak House was boring). - Cathedralite
