Lyric Poetry & Drama

"Major Barbara" by George Bernard Shaw is a compelling and thought-provoking play that grapples with the clash between idealism and pragmatism, wealth and poverty, and the moral complexities of the arms industry. Set in early 20th-century London, the play follows the lives of the Undershaft family, whose members are drawn into a compelling and often humorous exploration of their values and beliefs. The story revolves around Barbara Undershaft, a dedicated major in the Salvation Army, known for her passionate commitment to helping the poor and downtrodden. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she discovers that her estranged father, Andrew Undershaft, is a wealthy arms manufacturer with a thriving business.
