Challenging puritanical values, this collection features three distinct plays. "The Devil's Disciple" unfolds during the American Revolution, where a man embraces a mistaken identity as a rebel. "Caesar and Cleopatra" offers a historical exploration of the complex relationship between the iconic figures in ancient Egypt. In "Captain Brassbound's Conversion," a wealthy woman seeks revenge in North Africa but finds herself converted to Islam instead. Each play provokes thought and reflection on societal norms, showcasing Shaw's wit and critique of conventional beliefs.
