Great Catherine (Whom Glory Still Adores) by Bernard Shaw
"Great Catherine (Whom Glory Still Adores)" by Bernard Shaw is a one-act play written in 1913. The comedy follows Captain Charles Edstaston, a proper British military attaché, and his fiancée Claire as they navigate the court of Russia's Catherine the Great in 1776. Amid palace intrigue orchestrated by the crafty Prince Patiomkin, the imperious yet intimate Catherine challenges the naive captain's rigid beliefs, forcing him to abandon his guarded manners while discovering
philosophical truths herself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
