Getting Married

Focusing on the institution of marriage, this play features a family gathered for a wedding, allowing George Bernard Shaw to critique societal norms of his time.

Shaw's background in music and literary criticism enriches the dialogue, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. The play serves as a reflection on the need for reform in marital laws and societal expectations surrounding marriage.
