Book Excerpt: 
. . .Duels are not sex; divorce cases are not sex; the Trade Unionism of married women is not sex. Only the most insignificant fraction of the gallantries of married people produce any of the conventional results; and plays occupied wholly with the conventional results are therefore utterly unsatisfying as sex plays, however interesting they may be as plays of intrigue and plot puzzles.

The world is finding this out rapidly. The Sunday papers, which in the days when they appealed almost exclusively to the lower middle class were crammed with police intelligence, and more especially with divorce and murder cases, now lay no stress on them; and police papers which confined themselves entirely to such matters, and were once eagerly read, have perished through the essential dulness of their topics. And yet the interest in sex is stronger than ever: in fact, the literature that has driven out the journalism of the divorce courts is a literature occupied with sex to an. . . Read More

2 couples, in a 1-acter, circle roundabout on love, marriage, fidelity. Staged in Edwardian dress, it amused audiences (w some cuts) at a regional theatre where I was a board member. It also influenced many sex comedies fr Coward to Benn Levy. Ex ~ She: "You're sure you don't want anything you ought

- الحب، الزواج، الإخلاص، الخيانة، الملل... وغيرها من المشاعر والأفعال وضعها برناردشو على لسان رجلين وامرأتين متزوجين حيث يخون كل شريك شريكه ومن ثم يجتمعان في جو من المعاتبة الساخرة. برناردشو على عادته يسخر من ردة فعل الإنكليز الباردة في هذه المسرحية رغم اهمية الموضوع! كوميديا سوداء مضحكة بعض الشيئ،

الخيانة تتجلى في أبهى صورها ..
رجل متزوج ..
آمرأة متزوجة ..
كل منهما يخون الطرف الأخر في حياتهما ..
فالرجل يخون زوجته مع المرآة ..

بمعنى أخر، الأربع أطراف يخونون بعضهم البعض مع بعضهم البعض ..

برنارد شو حب يوضح فكرة إنه

Overruled is a dizzyingly fast-paced critique of love, marriage, and relationships in which two married couples end up very respectably switching partners (as if such a thing is even possible) and the women dance circles around the men verbally. It’s really very engaging and a lot of fun.
