Lyric Poetry & Drama

"Androcles and the Lion" by George Bernard Shaw is a delightful and thought-provoking play that blends humor, compassion, and social commentary. Set in ancient Rome, the play tells the story of Androcles, a gentle and kind-hearted Christian tailor who finds himself thrown into the brutal world of gladiatorial combat. The play opens with Androcles fleeing from his cruel master, escaping into the wilderness where he encounters a wounded lion. Showing compassion, Androcles tends to the lion's injury and forms an unlikely bond with the fierce creature. Little does he know that this act of kindness will change his life forever.
