Shaw characterizes Passion, Poison, and Petrifaction as a "Brief tragedy," which, of course, the reader or spectator immediately discovers that Shaw is having us on. One might more rightly describe this play about vanity, jealousy, and murder as ridiculous or even-dare we say it-an antecedent to the Theatre of the Absurd. The play is a world unto itself-tomfoolery from beginning to end. Consequently, the frivolity is its virtue. Tragedy turned on its head. May you laugh yourself silly.

Do politics and the playhouse go together? For Bernard Shaw they most certainly did. As a playwright with a message he saw the theatre as the ideal medium for conveying his view of life, which was essentially socialistic. The theatre was to Shaw a latter-day temple of the arts within a community. But Shaw was, of course, multi-voiced, not only through the characters he created but also in his own persona as public speaker, essayist, tract writer and author of works on political economy. Much of the thinking that is expressed in his non-dramatic works is contained also in his plays. This work offers a readily accessible means of looking at the nature and the progression of Shaw's thinking. All the plays included in the major canon are reviewed and, except for brief plays and playlets (which are grouped), they are presented in sequential order.
