The Inca of Perusalem: An Almost Historical Comedietta by Bernard Shaw
QR code
"The Inca of Perusalem: An Almost Historical Comedietta" by Bernard Shaw is a comic one-act play written in 1915 during World War I. What begins as a fairytale about a fantastical "Inca" reveals itself as a satirical portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Through disguises and deceptions, a clever woman named Ermyntrude confronts the vain ruler, mocking his artistic pretensions and his country's disastrous war. Shaw's daring comedy ridiculed Germany's leader while the
conflict still raged. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
