In George Bernard Shaw's subversive drawing-room comedy, the seemingly idyllic London home of socialist clergyman James Morell is upended by the arrival of the young, intensely romantic poet Eugene Marchbanks. Eugene declares his fervent love for Morell’s wife, Candida, convinced she is trapped in an unromantic, dutiful existence and needs saving. What unfolds is a witty, unconventional love triangle that forces everyone—especially Candida—to confront their preconceived notions of love, marriage, and domestic bliss.
