How tantalizing to hear Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler's List) but not be able to see him! And hear him one does in his role as Jack Tanner, the antihero of Shaw's 1905 classic drama Man and Superman. Fiennes is a veritable mouthpiece--and a frequently sarcastic one at that--for the burning issues on Shaw's philosophical and social laundry list: the state of the English working class, the arms race, women's rights, unwed mothers, the evils of industry and capitalism, and English morality in general. The seriousness of the discussions is tempered by delightful Shavian wit ("There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it."), which prevents the dialogue from collapsing under its own weight, although it does teeter at times. The four-act play, directed by the esteemed Peter Hall for BBC Radio, begins in the English countryside and ends in the mountains of Spain after a curious detour to Hell, where, in act 3, the famous dream sequence unfolds and the main characters take on such roles as Don Juan and the Devil to further hash out the meaning of existence, the definition of life force, and the power of the female sex. This is a spirited production of Shaw's imperfect but intellectually challenging work. (Running time: 225 min; four cassettes)

Format:Taschenbuch
In this title, G.B. Shaw outdoes himself. Not only does he manage to turn up with a Don Juan play in our modern day and age, which is full of cynicism, and doesn't give in to 'medieval' codes of behaviour, but he even manages to turn around the table. Here, the hunter becomes the hunted, forced to flee from his pursued/pursuer. Shaw includes in this play an ingenious conversation between the original 15th century characters, which not only explains about Don Juan's philosophy, but shines a new light upon our own lives, here and today.

George Bernard Shaw enables fantasy, dreams and reality to show the heritage of our strugle from the savana to modern civilization. He crafts modern relationships using powerful mother, father, daughter, son, the loved and the rebuffed to allow us to reflect on our current state. This book contains clasic elements of a Don Juan dream, a "road trip" and an entire handbook written by one of Mr. Shaws main characters. The Don Juan dream is one in which the battle of the sexes is answered and shown to be a facade for an agenda that we perpetuate, but do not control or often acknowledge. The "road trip" appears to be the original of much of what we've experienced in Jack Kerouac's writings and see in our modern movies.
The handbook allows Mr. Shaw to express his own ideas as those of his character. This provides some insulation from any contemporary criticism that may have come his way. This work, more so than any other, provides a wonderful avenue to Mr. Shaw's personal philosophy that can lend insight to his other works. It truly can be said that this book "has it all" with something for everyone. It is truly amazing that this book has remained relatively obscure, however it has remained a strong influence in many modern literature courses and would be an enjoyable addition to most anyone's book collection.
