Candida, a comedy by playwright George Bernard Shaw, was written in 1894 and first published in 1898, as part of his Plays Pleasant. The central characters are clergyman James Morell, his wife Candida and a youthful poet, Eugene Marchbanks, who tries to win Candida's affections. The play questions Victorian notions of love and marriage, asking what a woman really desires from her husband. The cleric is a Christian Socialist, allowing Shaw—himself a Fabian Socialist—to weave political issues, current at the time, into the story.
Shaw attempted but failed to have a London production of the play put on in the 1890s, but there were two small provincial productions. However, in late 1903 actor Arnold Daly had such a great success with the play that Shaw would write by 1904 that New York was seeing "an outbreak of Candidamania". The Royal Court Theatre in London performed the play in six matinees in 1904. The same theatre staged several other of Shaw's plays from 1904 to 1907, including further revivals of Candida.

George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was a Nobel Prize and Oscar-winning Irish playwright, critic and socialist whose influence on Western theatre, culture and politics stretched from the 1880s to his death in 1950. Originally earning his way as an influential London music and theatre critic, Shaw's greatest gift was for the modern drama. Strongly influenced by Henrik Ibsen, he successfully introduced a new realism into English-language drama. He wrote more than 60 plays, among them Man and Superman, Mrs. Warren's Profession, Major Barbara, Saint Joan, Caesar and Cleopatra, and Pygmalion. With his range from biting contemporary satire to historical allegory, Shaw became the leading comedy dramatist of his generation and one of the most important playwrights in the English language since the 17th century.
"Shaw was also the most trenchant pamphleteer since Swift, the most readable music critic in English, the best theatre critic of his generation, a prodigious lecturer and essayist on politics, economics, and sociological subjects, and one of the most prolific letter writers in literature," sums up Stanley Weintraub in the Encyclopædia Britannica. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925.

Candida (1895) George Bernard Shaw (Dublino, 26 luglio 1856 -- Ayot St Lawrence, 2 novembre 1950) http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bernard_Shaw In un periodo storico e in un'atmosfera ancora legati alla fine ottocento, ma con una visione...anticipatoria e modernissima, George Bernard Shaw riesce a creare un personaggio femminile rivoluzionario per la società del tempo: Candida, una donna "virile" e simpatica, capace di scegliere il proprio uomo e di imporsi, pur mantenendo discretamente il suo ruolo di regina fra le pareti domastiche. Uno dei due protagonisti maschili della commedia "Candida" è Morell, un pastore evangelico, zelante riformatore, oratore assai facondo e stimato dai suoi seguaci. Egli è, infatti,il prototipo dell'uomo sicuro, soddisfatto e felicemente realizzato nella s...
