George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man , one of his most celebrated comedies, is set during the 1885 Serbo-Bulgarian War. The play follows the story of a Swiss soldier fighting for the Serbian army who unexpectedly bursts into the bedroom of a young Bulgarian woman, seeking her help to hide. Blending sharp wit with humor, this timeless classic is a brilliant satire on conventional notions of war, morality, love, and class.
