Fanny's First Play, being but a potboiler, needs no preface. But its lesson is not, I am sorry to say, unneeded. Mere morality, or the substitution of custom for conscience was once accounted a shameful and cynical thing: people talked of right and wrong, of honor and dishonor, of sin and grace, of salvation and damnation, not of morality and immorality. The word morality, if we met it in the Bible, would surprise us as much as the word telephone or motor car.

The Count O’Dowda, a hater of what he perceives as the modern vulgarity of England, hires a professional producer and actors to put on a play in his country estate, and then invites professional critics to attend. But unknown to him, his daughter Fanny, a student at Cambridge and a member of the Fabian Society, has written the play with the intent of morally shocking her father, and she hopes that the presence of professional critics will convince him of its artistic merit. Within this framing, the play within the play concerns the Gilbey and Knox families. Both are highly respectable, and both of their children have secretly spent a fortnight in jail for assaulting a police officer. The families, along with a noble footman, a disreputable woman, and a French naval lieutenant, must navigate what it means to be respectable in the eyes of society, and what truly noble behavior entails. Fanny’s First Play is a satire not only of society and morals, but of the theater of the day and of specific criticisms George Bernard Shaw’s works had drawn. The characters of the theater critics are based on actual critics of the day, and Shaw’s other works are discussed dismissively by them. It was originally performed with its authorship kept secret, but attendees and critics soon recognized it as Shaw’s work. The mystery around its authorship was good publicity, and it became Shaw’s longest running and most popular work.

Shaw believed that theatre audiences of the 1890s deserved more than the hollow spectacle and sham he saw displayed on the London stage. But he also recognized that people wanted to be entertained while educated, and to see purpose mixed with pleasure. In these three plays of ideas, Shaw employed traditional dramatic forms - Victorian melodrama, the history play and the adventure story - to turn received wisdom upside down. Set during the American War of Independence, The Devil's Disciple exposes fake Puritanism and piety, while Caesar and Cleopatra, a cheeky riposte to Shakespeare, redefines heroism in the character of the ageing Roman leader. And in Captain Brassbound's Conversion, an expedition in Morocco is saved from disaster by a lady explorer's skilful manipulation of the truth.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) is revered as one of the great British dramatists, credited not only with memorable works, but the revival of the then-suffering English theatre. Shaw was born in Dublin, Ireland, left mostly to his own devices after his mother ran off to London to pursue a musical career. He educated himself for the most part, and eventually worked for a real estate agent. This experience founded in him a concern for social injustices, seeing poverty and general unfairness afoot, and would go on to address this in many of his works. In 1876, Shaw joined his mother in London where he would finally attain literary success. Written in 1911, Fanny's First Play was at first written anonymously, then later accredited to George Bernard Shaw. This work is a play within a play, with the main intention of satirizing theatre critics.

An extremely humorous play written by one of Ireland's most famous playwrites. George Bernard was born in Dublin in 1856. Before becoming a playwright he wrote music and literary criticism. Shaw used his writing to attack social problems such as education, marriage, religion, government, health care, and class privilege. Shaw was particularly conscious of the exploitation of the working class. Arms and the Man tells the story of an overmedicated pompous Judge named Fred Willard. This kangaroo court contains foreign affairs, love, and bigotry. The defendant has the key to peace between Israel and Palestine, but his plans will fail unless he can get court to adjourn.
