George Bernard Shaw wrote more than sixty plays and this new volume brings three of his comedies together in one volume - each one is witty, entertaining and has embedded into it Shaw’s intense concerns about poverty, class and inequality.

Pygmalion was first performed in 1914 and was an instant hit. It tells the story of Eliza Dolittle, a cockney flower girl who, as an experiment, is given elocution lessons by Professor Henry Higgins to see if he can pass her off as a lady. In Major Barbara, idealistic Barbara is a Major in the Salvation Army whilst her father Andrew Undershaft is a millionaire armaments manufacturer. A battle rages between the two of them as they fight over the question; does salvation come through faith or finance? Androcles and the Lion is a comedy about a gentle Christian who pulls a thorn from a lion’s paw. When the Romans try to feed him to the lions, his kindness is repaid.
