5.0 out of 5 stars Relevant as ever!, November 7, 2010
By 
This review is from: Getting Married (Kindle Edition)
I was shocked when I realized this play was written in 1908. What a progressive and open mind! Extremely enjoyable and wickedly honest. I would give it more stars if possible...absolutely wonderful read!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good satire on engagements, marriages, and divorces, December 22, 2010
This review is from: Getting Married (Paperback)
Two themes drive this 1908 witty drama by one of England's top playwrights as he discusses and makes fun of engagements, marriages, and divorces. The first theme is the educational insufficiency and snobbery of the English, a persistent Shaw theme. One only needs to think of the well-known apt description of the English by another author: only wild dogs and Englishmen go out in the noon-day sun. And one only needs to be reminded of how the English treated the "colonies" in a thoughtless self-interested manner. The second theme is the foolishness associated with relationships and marriages, especially the inability of most people to grow, mature, and sustain a relationship that by nature changes as people become older, and the civil and religious laws associated with marriage. Who, for example, would want a spouse for both "better and for worse"?
