Description The play, most of it sheer bravura in which Shaw gaily tinkers with such light hearted romantic ideas as the meeting of a long lost father with his loquacious offspring and the effect of love on a love loathing feminist and a penniless voung dentist was played deftly as period comedy It was theatre in stylised side whiskers.
