The centre piece is "Village Wooing", Shaw's comediettina "for two voices in three scenes" preceded by the one-act play "How He Lied to Her Husband" and a longish poem, "English Pronounciation" which deals with the peculiarities of spoken English, (one of his favourite themes). The two short plays are affectionate satires on the processes of wooing and wedding, and their aftermath. Mr. Shaw's rapier-sharp wit and his unique take on these human rites-of-passage make for a stimulating, sparkling evening's entertainment.
