 stock image, actual book may vary Now a major motion picture Starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams. Written and directed by John Patrick Shanley from his Pulitzer Prize winning play. The best new play of the season. That rarity of rarities, an issue-driven play that is unpreachy, thought-provoking, and so full of high drama that the audience with which I saw it gasped out loud a half-dozen times at its startling twists and turns. Mr. Shanley deserves the highest possible praise: he doesn t try to talk you into doing anything but thinking-hard-about the gnarly complexity of human behavior. Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal A breathtaking work of immense proportion. Positively brilliant. Melissa Rose Bernardo, Entertainment Weekly 1 show of the year. How splendid it feels to be trusted with such passionate, exquisite ambiguity unlike anything we have seen from this prolific playwright so far. In just ninety fast-moving minutes, Shanley creates four blazingly individual people. Doubt is a lean, potent drama . . . passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing. Linda Winer, Newsday John Patrick Shanley is the author of numerous plays, including Danny in the Deep Blue Sea , Dirty Story , Four Dogs and a Bone , Psychopathia , Sexualis , Sailor s Song , Savage in Limbo , and Where s My Money? He has written extensively for TV and film, and his credits include the teleplay for Live from Baghdad and screenplays for Congo ; Alive ; Five Corners ; Joe Versus the Volcano , which he also directed; and Moonstruck , for which he won an Academy Award for best original screenplay.

 stock image, actual book may vary "Man and Superman" shows Shaw's wit at its most brilliant and his speculations at their boldest.The play, as Shaw explains in the preface, is on the Don Juan theme. Taking all the ingredients of the legend, as used by Mozart in "Don Giovanni," Shaw reordered them to write a four-act play in which, characteristically, he turned the story on its head so that Don Juan becomes 'the quarry instead of the huntsman'. While "Man and Superman" contains high comedy of the order of Congreve, it is also a powerful drama of ideas in which Shaw explores the role of the artist, the function of women in society and his theory of Creative Evolution, a theme to which he returned twenty years later in his great dramatic cycle "Back to Methuseleh."

 stock image, actual book may vary A lifetime of happiness No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth After the death of her father, Ann Whitefield becomes the joint ward of two men: the respectable Roebuck Ramsden and John Tanner, author of The Revolutionist s Handbook . Believing marriage would prevent him from achieving his higher intellectual and political ambitions, Tanner is horrified to discover that Ann intends to marry him, and flees to Spain with the determined young woman in hot pursuit. The chase even leads them to the underworld, where the characters alter egos discuss questions of human nature and philosophy in a lively debate in a scene often performed separately as Don Juan in Hell . In Man and Superman , Shaw combined seriousness with comedy to create a satirical and buoyant expos of the eternal struggle between the sexes. This is the definitive text under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence. This volume includes Shaw s Preface of 1903 and his appendix, The Revolutionist s Handbook , the cast list from the first production of Man and Superman and a list of his principal wor

 stock image, actual book may vary Man and Superman and Three Other Plays , by George Bernard Shaw , is part of the Barnes Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes Noble Classics : All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences biographical, historical, and literary to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Acclaimed as a second Shakespeare, Irish-born George Bernard Shaw revolutionized the British theater. Although his plays focus on ideas and issues, they are enlivened by fascinating characters, a brilliant command of language, and dazzling wit. One of Shaw s finest and most devilish comedies, Man and Superman portrays Don Juan as the quarry instead of the huntsman. John Tanner, upon discovering that his beautiful ward plans to marry him, flees to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, where he is captured by a group of rebels. Tanner falls asleep, and dreams the famous Don Juan in Hell sequence, which features a sparkling Shavian debate among Don Juan, the Devil, and a talkative statue. With its fairy-tale ending and a cast literally from hell, Man and Superman is a hilarious cocktail of farce, Nietzschean philosophy, and Mozart s Don Giovanni . Also included in this volume are Candida , Shaw s first real success on the stage, Mrs. Warren s Profession , which poked fun at the Victorian attitude toward prostitution, and The Devil s Disciple , a play set during the American Revolution. John A. Bertolini is Ellis Professor of the Liberal Arts at Middlebury College, where he teaches dramatic literature, Shakespeare, and film. He has written The Playwrighting Self of Bernard Shaw and articles on Hitchcock and on British and American dramatists. Bertolini also wrote the introduction and notes to the Barnes Noble Classics edition of Shaw s Pygmalion and Three Othe
