The Philanderer by Bernard Shaw
QR code
"The Philanderer" by George Bernard Shaw is a play written in 1893. Leonard Charteris juggles romantic entanglements with multiple women, including widow Grace Tranfield and the volatile Julia Craven. Set against the backdrop of London's progressive Ibsen Club, the comedy explores marriage, jealousy, and the consequences of Charteris's self-proclaimed inability to resist female attention. Shaw crafted two endings—one conventional, one daringly subversive—for this satire of Victorian relationships and social hypocrisy, published as
part of his provocative "Plays Unpleasant" collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
