Picture
Heartbreak House, perhaps Shaw’s richest and saddest play about the follies of humanity, as rehearsed by the British upper classes in the shivery days before World War I. In this quasi-Chekhovian comedy set at a country house slightly unmoored from the real world, Shaw indicted a culture saturated in false values, its most privileged citizens corrupted by idleness and indifference, content to drift toward the abyss.

With the world seemingly on endless edge these days, and with plenty of Americans feeling disengaged from the circus of our cultural and political dicourse, Shaw’s bracing analysis of a civilization in decline seems more valuable than ever.”

                 — Charles Isherwood, New York Times
