Omslag till George Bernard Shaw: Heartbreak House (PDF)

Written in 1919, George Bernard Shaw’s Heartbreak House is equal parts tragedy and comedy. Centering on a dinner party, held as Europe teeters on the brink of the First World War; Shaw’s play is as much about the inexorable drift of the British gentry toward catastrophe as it is about the love triangle that seems to take centre stage.
