Produktbeschreibung
"Heartbreak House" by George Bernard Shaw is a witty and incisive comedy that serves as a scathing critique of the British upper class and their complacency in the face of impending disaster. Set on the eve of World War I, the play takes place in the eccentric household of Captain Shotover, a retired seafarer whose home serves as a microcosm of British society. As various guests gather at Heartbreak House, they reveal themselves to be shallow, self-absorbed, and disconnected from the realities of the world around them. Through sharp dialogue and biting satire, Shaw exposes the moral bankruptcy of the ruling class and the folly of their pursuit of pleasure and material wealth. At its core, "Heartbreak House" is a cautionary tale about the consequences of moral apathy and political indifference. Shaw uses the characters and setting of the play to explore themes of power, corruption, and the decline of Western civilization, offering a searing indictment of the social and political forces that led to the cataclysm of World War I.
