Lyric Poetry & Drama
How He Lied to Her Husband by George Bernard Shaw is a one-act comedy play by George Bernard Shaw, who wrote it, at the request of actor Arnold Daly, over four days while he was vacationing in Scotland in 1904. The play has often been interpreted as a kind of satirical commentary on Shaw's own highly successful earlier play Candida (which one of the characters gets tickets to see). Excerpt: "Like many other works of mine, this playlet is a piece d'occasion. In 1905 it happened that Mr. Arnold Daly, who was then playing the part of Napoleon in The Man of Destiny in New York, found that whilst the play was too long to take a secondary place in the evening's performance, it was too short to suffice by itself."
