What it's about

The Philanderer is a comedy by George Bernard Shaw, written in 1893 but first performed in 1905. The play revolves around Frank Gardner, a charming but shallow young man who is a self-proclaimed philanderer—someone who casually flirts with and seduces women without any real intention of committing. Shaw uses this character to explore themes of love, marriage, and gender roles in Victorian society, particularly the double standards surrounding men and women’s behaviour.
