Translated by Siegfried Trebitsch
Man Kann Nie Wissen is a comedic play by George Bernard Shaw, first published in 1898. Set in an English seaside town, it follows Frau Clandon and her three children as they navigate familial relationships and societal expectations. The play explores themes of identity, parental influence, and the quest for truth, beginning with the humorous interactions between Dr. Valentine, a young dentist, and the children, particularly focusing on their curiosity about their absent father. Shaw's work is notable for its sharp wit and social commentary, reflecting the complexities of late 19th-century life.
