'Heartbreak House' is George Bernard Shaw at his most thought-provoking, amusing and touching. It is about a ship-shaped country manor that houses a collection of bohemian eccentrics led by the ancient Captain Shotover on the eve of WWI. Bursting with wit and a deep compassion for the foibles of mere mortals, the play is an exhilarating comic masterpiece.
