Arms and the Man
by George Bernard Shaw
101 pages~2 hrs
“A soldier's greatest weapon isn't a sword—it's a box of chocolates.”
When a cynical mercenary trades bullets for chocolate creams, a young woman's romanticized views of war and heroism are turned upside down. This sharp-witted comedy skewers the absurdity of battlefield glory and the pretenses of high-society love with George Bernard Shaw’s signature bite.
