Widowers' Houses September 11, 2008

A sparkling comic gem from George Bernard Shaw.'Widowers' Houses' begins with a delightful romantic fling. Two budding Brits meet abroad, fall in love. She's the hot-blooded child of excessive wealth. He's a penniless doc with healthy principles. Mighty turbulence lies ahead back in London as right before they're to wed, the doc makes a shocking discovery about his fiancee and her father. The outcome is well worth thinking about as issues arise as relevant today as when this work first appeared a hundred years ago.
