"Overruled" by Bernard Shaw is a farcical comedy written in the early 20th century, specifically during the early 1910s. The play explores themes of marriage, infidelity, and the societal norms surrounding romantic relationships. Through its witty dialogue, Shaw delves into the moral dilemmas faced by individuals caught between personal desires and social expectations. The story unfolds in a seaside hotel where two couples, Gregory and Mrs. Lunn, and Sibthorpe and Mrs. Juno, engage in a humorous yet tense exchange about love, fidelity, and the complications of marriage. As the characters confront their attractions and moral qualms, they navigate misunderstandings and revelations about their relationships. The play portrays the inner conflicts of its characters, particularly as they grapple with their desires while trying to uphold the standards expected of them by society. Ultimately, "Overruled" interrogates the nature of love and commitment, revealing the precarious balance between social decorum and personal truth, all delivered through Shaw's characteristic wit and insight.
