John Bull's Other Island (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781605121772)

Can you ever really go home again? What if you bring a friend - and he is welcomed like a favorite son? In this comedy by the masterful George Bernard Shaw, Larry Doyle is a successful engineer in London who returns to his birthplace in Ireland for a business deal. His partner, Tom Broadbent, has romantic notions of the Emerald Isle and is eager to come along. Broadbent cuts a swathe through the small town, charming nearly everyone he meets - including Doyle's sweetheart. John Bull's Other Island was first produced in 1904, and is the sole play by Shaw to be set in his homeland of Ireland. Shaw's incisive humor shines throughout, making this a most satisfying read.
