Arms and the Man

A Bulgarian woman’s delusions about romance and war are quickly dismantled by a disgruntled Swiss mercenary. Arms and the Man, by George Bernard Shaw, is a humorous examination of one person’s perception versus reality. The young heroine gradually discovers the truth about love, honor and the unexpected casualties of war.
