Man kann nie wissen: Komödie in vier Akten by Bernard Shaw
"Man kann nie wissen: Komödie in vier Akten" by Bernard Shaw is a comedy written in 1895. Feminist author Margaret Clandon returns to England with her three children after eighteen years abroad. At a seaside hotel, she unexpectedly encounters the husband she abandoned nearly two decades earlier—a father her children have never known. The awkward reunion unfolds through a chaotic lunch and skirmishes between modern ideals and traditional emotions. Meanwhile, eldest daughter
Gloria finds herself caught in a battle of wits and hearts with a charming but penniless dentist. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
