Arms and the Man was one of Shaws first commercial successes. He was called onto stage after the curtain, where he received enthusiastic applause. Amidst the cheers, one audience member booed. Shaw replied, in characteristic fashion, "My dear fellow, I quite agree with you, but what are we two against so many?"[6] Arms and the Man is a humorous play that shows the futility of war and deals comedically with the hypocrisies of human nature

Description Penquin
Raina, a young woman with romantic notions of war and an idealized view of her soldier fianc , is surprised one night by a Swiss mercenary soldier seeking refuge in her bedchamber. The pragmatic Captain Bluntschli proceeds to puncture all of Raina s illusions about love, heroism, and class. In a second duel of sex, Louka, Raina s maid, uses her wiles in her attempt to gain power. Optimistic, farcical, absurd, and teeming with sexual energy, Arms and the Man has Shaw inverting the devices of melodrama to glorious effect. This is the definitive text prepared under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence. The volume includes Shaw s preface of 1898.
