Set in four acts, this drama explores the theme of marriage through the character of John Tanner, a staunch bachelor pursued by Ann Whitefield. While often performed as a light comedy, the play delves into deeper philosophical questions about gender roles and societal expectations. Ann embodies Shaw's belief that women are the driving force in marriage across cultures, challenging Tanner's resistance and prompting a reflection on love and commitment.
