Come lui mentì al marito di lei

He and She are lovers. He is a young man in his twenties, handsome and very intelligent. She is a superficial, upper middle-class, spoilt 40-year-old woman. Her husband, ignorant and wrathful, discovers the affair; will the shrewd young man manage to escape unscathed?
Starting with the classic triangle of husband, wife and lover, George Bernard Shaw turns the rules of vaudeville upside down – in which the situation evolves according to well-known and precise patterns – and composes a comic text that ends up surprising even the most experienced spectators.
A one-act play of subtle wit that demonstrates how, starting from a banal situation that has been exploited far too much in the theatrical sphere, one can succeed in creating refined entertainment for an audience that is not satisfied with easy laughter.
