George Bernard Shaw was born in Dublin in 1856. Before becoming a playwright he wrote music and literary criticism. Shaw used his writing to attack social problems such as education, marriage, religion, government, health care, and class privilege. Shaw was particularly conscious of the exploitation of the working class. Since a botched operation on his foot, Shaw had little respect for the majority of doctors. Man and Superman is a tragic comic play in which the pursuit of woman by man is reversed, and Don Juan becomes the quarry instead of the huntsman. On a higher level the author introduces his concept of a life force that seeks to raise mankind to a better and higher existence.
Gr 10 Up-Based on the Don Juan theme and, using all the elements from Mozart's Don Giovanni, Shaw reordered them so that Don Juan becomes the quarry instead of the huntsman.

Man and Superman
This play is really very learned
It was written by this guy Bernard
And really I think the title is a bit of a lie
Because this Superman doesn't wear a cape or fly
Or catch bad guys like Lex Luther or Braniac
It seems to be all about an idea invented by that maniac
With a name nobody can spell, Friedrich Nietzche
About whom GB Shaw is keen to teach ya
As for the rest, a smorgasbord of intellectual dumplings
Enlivened by the characters' neverending grumblings
There's a hypocritical romantic
Whose psychology tends to the frantic
And another guy who wants a revolution
Whose ideas were borderline offensive where they weren't lilliputian
There's a hoity-toity mademoiselle
And a long debate that takes place in Hell
Outrageous opinions are bandied around
Shaw's firecracker paradoxes often astound
But it's okay, nobody in this play gets hurt
And the revolutionary end up happily married (spoiler alert)
