Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy

"Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy" by Bernard Shaw is a four-act drama written in 1903.

The famous third act, "Don Juan in Hell," features a philosophical debate in Hell and is often performed separately or omitted entirely from productions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
