About this ebook

Unusual and intriguing, they will greatly appeal to fans of Shaw’s work. The plays contained herein include: “Widowers’ Houses”, “The Philanderer”, and “Mrs. Warren’s Profession”. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) was an Irish playwright who co-founded the London School of Economics.
