Reseña: Fabian socialist and ardent proselytizer George Bernard Shaw viewed his role as a playwright as far more than that of an entertainer. His audiences heard fully articulated sermons on moral and economic issues a potentially dry theatrical experience enlivened by Shaws genius for creating vital characters and scintillating dialogue. Major Barbara offers a sparkling example of its authors unique gift for presenting social theories in an engaging format. The eponymous heroine an officer in the Salvation Army is the daughter of Andrew Undershaft a wealthy armaments manufacturer. When the Army accepts donations from Undershaft and a whiskey distiller whose money Barbara regards as tainted she resigns in disgust but eventually sees the truth of her fathers reasoning that social iniquity derives from poverty it is only through accumulating wealth and power that people can help each other.
