Getting Married

Riassunto

"Getting Married" by Bernard Shaw is a play first performed in 1908. When a bride and groom each discover a troubling pamphlet about marriage laws on their wedding day, they refuse to proceed with the ceremony. As family members gather, they debate divorce, contracts, and the future of marriage itself. Through witty dialogue and satirical exchanges, Shaw examines the legal and social constraints of matrimony in Edwardian England, questioning whether marriage can be reformed or must simply be endured.
