    Amazing performance!

    I believe Man and Superman to be Shaw's best and most enjoyable play while the hardest to perform. What actor can speed through all that dialogue so quickly not to bore the audience without losing energy, and do all the jokes justice without giving up the gravity of the subject? Ralph Fiennes can! Absolutely amazing play, thought provoking and funny, and a fascination to watch the performance!
