Misalliance by George Bernard Shaw

“Misalliance,” a 1909 play by George Bernard Shaw, is a witty "discussion play" set in a single afternoon at a wealthy English country house, satirizing Edwardian social conventions, class, and gender roles through a series of comedic and philosophical clashes. The plot is set in motion by an airplane crash in the conservatory, which introduces unexpected guests and sparks debates on marriage, the "New Woman," and the clash between old aristocracy and new money, all while exploring Shaw's ideas on socialism, the Life Force, and the nature of relationships.
