In HEARTBREAK HOUSE, retired British naval officer Captain Shotover tries to maintain control of his household as his two daughters flirt with their young friends. A social critique disguised as a romantic comedy, Shaw's witty play (this television adaptation first appeared in 1977) displays the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie in the time just prior to World War I.
