A captivating exploration of love, marriage and societal expectations that challenges conventional notions and poses thought-provoking questions about relationships.
Candida is a compelling play where love, passion and social conventions collide in a dramatic and witty tale. Set in the late-nineteenth century, the story revolves around Candida, a vivacious and intelligent woman torn between her seemingly perfect husband, Reverend James Morell, and a passionate young poet, Eugene Marchbanks. As Morell’s charismatic persona and Marchbanks’s earnest declarations collide, Candida finds herself at the centre of a profound emotional struggle.
As the romantic tension escalates, Shaw masterfully explores themes of feminism, marriage and societal expectations. With razor-sharp dialogue and sharp insights, Shaw weaves a captivating narrative that delves into the complexities of relationships and the clash between intellectual and emotional connections.
