"Arms and the Man" (1894): A romantic comedy set during the Serbo-Bulgarian War, which satirizes romanticized notions of war and explores the clash between idealism and practicality."Candida" (1894): A play that examines themes of love, marriage, and societal expectations through the story of Candida, a woman caught between her clergyman husband and a passionate young poet."You Never Can Tell" (1897): A comedic play revolving around a family and their encounters with an unconventional dentist, exploring themes of social conventions, class, and love."The Man of Destiny" (1897): A one-act play featuring a fictional encounter between a young Napoleon Bonaparte and a woman who outwits him, touching on themes of ambition, fate, and manipulation.These plays are often considered more accessible and lighter in tone compared to some of Shaw's other works, while still maintaining his trademark wit, social commentary, and clever dialogue. The term "Plays Pleasant" is a convenient way to refer to these particular plays collectively.
