In Arms And The Man, Shaw mocks the romantic ideals of love and war through his famous character the Chocolate Soldier, a fugitive mercenary who stuffs his pockets with candy instead of cartridges and seeks refuge in the bedroom of the enemy -- a passionate and pretty Bulgarian patriot.
When William Butler Yeats asked Shaw to write John Bull's Other Island as a patriotic contribution to the Irish Literary Theatre, he got more than he bargained for. Featuring Thomas Broadbent, an ambitious Englishman who arrives in Ireland and decides to run for Parliament, this masterful play is an engaging mix of slapstick, satire, and politics that fires salvos at Irish and English alike.
