Man and Superman

Categories: Drama

George Bernard Shaw's 1903 'comedy and a philosophy', a reworking of the Don Juan legend in which the revolutionary-minded John Tanner flees, and is finally caught by, the determined Ann Whitefield. Its third-act dream sequence, Don Juan in Hell, sets out Shaw's ideas on the Life Force and the Superman.
