Synopsis:
In Shaw's "Misalliance," a seemingly ordinary afternoon at the Tarleton family's country estate takes an unexpected turn when a daredevil aviator crashes into their conservatory. This event sets off a chain of comical and thought-provoking encounters between the eccentric characters present, including a self-made millionaire, a suffragette, a young poet, and a mysterious visitor. As the day unfolds, secrets are revealed, passions are ignited, and unconventional ideas about love, marriage, and societal norms are explored. With witty dialogue and sharp social commentary, Shaw challenges conventional notions of relationships and invites us to question the constraints of Victorian society.
