The arms and the man

It's 1885, and Raina's bourgeois Bulgarian family is caught up in the heady patriotism of their war with Serbia. The beautiful and headstrong Raina eagerly awaits her fiancé's victorious return from battle-- but instead meets a soldier who seeks asylum in her bedroom. This is one soldier who definitely prefers romance and chocolate to fear and bullets. War may be raging on the battlefield, but it's the battle of the sexes that heats up this extraordinary comedy and offers very different notions of love and war.

"When "Arms and The Man' premiered in 1894, Shaw was already a celebrity arts critic and socialist lecturer. It was so successful that it immediately established him as one of the greatest wits of the london theatre scene. Shaw subtitles the play "the anti-romatic comedy.""

"Arms and the man starts with gunfire on a dark street in a small provincial town. The romantic and wilful Raina is about to begin her true-life adventure by sheltering the handsome fugitive Bluntschli, enemy of her equally handsome fiance Sergius. The men may all be heroes - or fools, since this is Shaw's comic view of Balkan chivalry, but the women are definitely more than their match."
"A satire of military valor and romantic love in which a Swiss soldier who prefers chocolate to bullets wins the girl and a chain of hotels."@en
