George Bernard Shaw (Dublino, 1856 – Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire 1950). Commediografo, narratore e saggista, nasce da famiglia protestante irlandese e, dopo la separazione dei genitori, a vent’anni raggiunge a Londra la madre e cerca la sua strada. Si avvicina al Fabianesimo, movimento socialista che influenzò molto gli intellettuali inglesi dell’epoca, e a partire dal 1890 inizia la sua attività di drammaturgo realizzando opere indimenticabili come Androclo e il leone (1913), Pigmalione (1914), Casa Cuorinfranto (1920). Nel 1925 riceve il Premio Nobel per la Letteratura, coronamento della sua carriera artistica. Una frase attribuita a Shaw sarà impiegata da Robert Kennedy nel 1968 durante la sua campagna elettorale: «Alcuni uomini vedono le cose così come sono e dicono: “Perché?”. Io sogno le cose come non sono mai state e dico: “Perché no?”».

Arms and the Man is a comedy by George Bernard Shaw, whose title comes from the opening words of Virgil's Aeneid in Latin: Arma virumque cano ("Arms and the man I sing"). The play was first produced on April 21, 1894 at the Avenue Theatre, and published in 1898 as part of Shaw's Plays Pleasant volume, which also included Candida, You Never Can Tell, and The Man of Destiny. The play was one of Shaw's first commercial successes. He was called onto stage after the curtain, where he received enthusiastic applause. However, amidst the cheers, one audience member booed. Shaw replied, in characteristic fashion, "My dear fellow, I quite agree with you, but what are we two against so many?" Arms and the Man is a humorous play which shows the futility of war and deals with the hypocrisies of human nature in a comedic fashion (font: Wikipedia)
