Man and Superman was the first drama to be broadcast on the BBC's Third Programme on October 1, 1946. To celebrate Radio 3's 50th anniversary, the play was directed by Sir Peter Hall, and preserved for all time in this lush audio dramatization. 'A comedy and a philosophy', Man and Superman is based on the Don Juan theme, and using all the elements from Mozart's Don Giovanni, Shaw reordered them so that Don Juan becomes the quarry instead of the huntsman. Boasting an outstanding cast including Ralph Fiennes, Juliet Stevenson, Dame Judi Dench, John Wood, Nicholas Le Prevost, and Paul Merton, this release includes an exclusive interview with director Sir Peter Hall.

Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy Bernard Shaw - Shaw began writing Man and Superman in 1901 and determined to write a play that would encapsulate the new century's intellectual inheritance. Shaw drew not only on Byron's verse satire, but also on Shakespeare, the Victorian comedy fashionable in his early life, and from authors from Conan Doyle to Kipling. In this powerful drama of ideas, Shaw explores the role of the artist, the function of women in society, and his theory of Creative Evolution. As Stanley Weintraub says in his new introduction, this is "the first great twentieth-century English play" and remains a classic exposé of the eternal struggle between the sexes.

"Man and Superman" by George Bernard Shaw is a thought-provoking and comedic exploration of love, marriage, and the battle of the sexes. Through the witty exchanges and philosophical debates of its characters, the play delves into themes of social convention, evolution, and the pursuit of self-fulfillment. At its heart is the character of John Tanner, a wealthy and outspoken bachelor who finds himself pursued by the determined and independent Ann Whitefield. As Tanner grapples with his own desires and beliefs, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that challenges his notions of love and freedom. Shaw's sharp wit and keen insight into human nature make "Man and Superman" a compelling and enduring work that continues to captivate audiences with its wit and wisdom.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Man and Superman is a four-act drama written by George Bernard Shaw in 1903. The series was written in response to a call for Shaw to write a play based on the Don Juan theme. Man and Superman opened at the Royal Court Theater in London on May 23, 1905, but omitted the third act. Part of the act, Don Juan in Hell (Act 3, Scene 2), was performed when the drama was performed on June 4, 1907 in the Royal Court. The play was not performed in its entirety until 1915, when the Traveling Repertoire Company played at the Lyceum Theater, Edinburgh. Mr. Whitefield died recently, and his will indicates that his daughter Ann should be cared for by two men, Roebuck Ramsden and John Tanner. Ramsden, a venerable old man, mistrusts John Tanner, an eloquent young man with revolutionary ideas.Shaw's stage directions describe him as "prodigiously fluent in speech, restless, excitable (check nasal snort and restless blue eye, only thirty-second of an inch too open), possibly a little crazy." Despite what Ramsden says, Ann accepts Tanner as her guardian, although Tanner doesn't want the position at all. He also challenges Tanner's revolutionary beliefs with his own ideas.

Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy by Bernard Shaw Man and Superman is a massive drama filled with light comedy and deep philosophy, based on Nietzsche's theory of the Abermensch or superman. Acts I, II, and IV play like a romantic comedy with a bite. Ann Whitefield relentlessly pursues dedicated bachelor Jack Tanner, not giving up until he agrees to marry her. Nobody likes Ann, least of all Tanner; she's a selfish bully. But, she is imbued with the Life Force, which makes her charmingly irresistible. By contrast, the third act of the play takes place in hell and the main characters take on the roles of Mozart's Don Giovanni. There, they engage in a long philosophical discussion about the eternal conflicts between men and women and heaven and hell. This third act provides a philosophical context within which to understand the other three acts, giving the comedy and romance of Acts I, II, and IV a deeper meaning. In execution, however, Act III is almost always removed. The third act has also been performed separately, as a single act titled Don Juan in Hell.

He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1912) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Man and Superman was the first drama to be broadcast on the BBC's Third Programme on October 1st, 1946. "A comedy and a philosophy," Man and Superman is based on the Don Juan theme and, using all the elements from Mozart's Don Giovanni, Shaw reordered them so that Don Juan becomes the quarry instead of the huntsman. George Bernard Shaw was called, with good reason, the "English Nietzsche". Though Nietzsche was an aristocrat and Shaw a socialist, both cherished the dream of the superman and looked forward to the day when he would be realised. Both, however, were characterised by their mordant wit and intellectual cynicism, in which "Man and Superman" abounds. Shaw manages to compress a number of disparate themes into a relatively taut dramatic format, even throwing in a scene in which Don Juan, the Devil and a gang of anarchist brigands make an appearance. The central event of the plot involves the wealthy Tanner, a member of the "Idle Rich Class" making himself subservient to the Life Force and seeking the perfect woman to marry, who would guarantee him a very special offspring, his ideal, the superman himself. Though Shaw was not known to have read the works of Bergson at that time, nor to have been conversant with his vitalist doctrine of the Life Force, his use of the Life Force motif and the philosophical underpinnings of the play attest to a pure Bergsonism. The most delightful part, however, is the "Revolutionist's Handbook" at the end, which contains Shaw's most scandalous anti-Establishment jibes. For instance, "Do not do unto others as you would them do unto you. They might not have the same taste."
