Widowers' Houses is a play written by George Bernard Shaw. The story follows the relationship between a young doctor, Harry Trench, and his fianc�����e, Blanche Sartorius. The couple is on vacation in London when they meet a wealthy man named Mr. Sartorius, who is Blanche's father. Trench soon discovers that Mr. Sartorius has made his fortune by exploiting the poor and renting out slum housing. This revelation causes tension between Trench and Blanche, as Trench is morally opposed to Mr. Sartorius's actions. The play explores themes of social class, wealth, and morality. It was first performed in 1892 and is considered one of Shaw's early works.THIS 76 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plays: Pleasant and Unpleasant The First Volume Containing the Three Unpleasant Plays, by George Bernard Shaw.
