He punctured hollow pretensions and smug prudishness--coating his criticism with ingenious and irreverent wit. In \u003ci\u003eMrs. Warren's Profession\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Arms and the Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Candida\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMan and Superman\u003c\/i\u003e, the great playwright satirizes society, military heroism, marriage, and the pursuit of man by woman. From a social, literary, and theatrical standpoint, these four plays are among the foremost dramas of the age--as intellectually stimulating as they are thoroughly enjoyable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"My way of joking is to tell the truth: It is the funniest joke in the world.\"--G.
