Helden by Bernard Shaw
"Helden" by George Bernard Shaw is a play first performed in 1894. Set during the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885, it follows Swiss artillery captain Bluntschli, who flees battle and takes refuge with Raina, the fiancée of Bulgarian cavalry officer Sergius. The pragmatic Bluntschli carries chocolate instead of ammunition and makes no secret of his distaste for war. When he returns after the war to return borrowed clothing, romantic entanglements and the threat
of a duel complicate matters, leading to unexpected pairings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
