- Summary:
- 'Major Barbara' is a play about power, religion and capital: Shaw's story of a conversion contest between an arms manufacturer and a Salvation Army Major is a provocative dramatization of the relationship between money and morality, exposing the material reality behind the political and moral philosophies of the time. 'Major Barbara' is a challenging comedy of ideals which subverts ideals and moral expectations, following a three act structure intended to advance understanding by stages as per Shaw's dialectic method. It was first produced in 1905 at the Royal Court, London.
