George Bernard Shaw You Never Can Tell

George Bernard Shaw

(4.8 stars; 6 reviews)

You Never Can Tell is a delightful comedy by George Bernard Shaw, originally born out of a bet that he couldn't write a 'seaside comedy.' This play, which aired on BBC Radio 4 FM, features a mix of marital mayhem, tangled romance, and even a touch of dubious dentistry.

Despite its lighthearted tone, the play serves as a brilliantly observed social treatise, showcasing Shaw's signature commentary on class, feminism, familial relationships, and the nature of love. Long considered one of Shaw's neglected works, You Never Can Tell is a frothy romantic comedy that offers surprising depth.
