Arms And The Man | George Bernard Shaw | Audio Drama | BBC Radio Drama | Old Time Radio

Step into the romantic chaos of the Serbo-Bulgarian War with George Bernard Shaw's timeless comedic masterpiece, 'Arms And The Man.' This full-length radio drama, originally broadcast by RTE Radio 1 in 1976 and rebroadcast in 2006, brilliantly satirizes the absurdities of warfare and the romantic illusions of high society. Follow Raina Petkoff, a young woman whose idealized vision of heroism is challenged when a pragmatic, 'chocolate cream soldier' (Captain Bluntschli) bursts into her bedroom, forcing her to confront the realities of life, love, and battle. Set in Bulgaria in 1885, the play explores the clash between romantic idealism and cynical realism through its unforgettable characters: the dashing yet hypocritical Major Sergius Saranoff, the sensible and unconventional Captain Bluntschli, and the passionate Raina, caught between societal expectations and her own awakening desires. Shaw's witty dialogue and sharp social commentary make this a captivating listen, filled with humor, unexpected twists, and profound insights into human nature. Experience this celebrated work of audio theater that remains as relevant today as when it was first penned.
