Getting Married

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of a family gathering for a wedding, this play critically examines the institution of marriage in early 20th-century society. Through sharp wit and satire, it highlights the need for reform in divorce laws, reflecting George Bernard Shaw's progressive views on personal freedom and societal norms. First performed in 1908, it offers a thought-provoking commentary on the complexities of relationships and the constraints imposed by traditional marriage.
