&quote;Man and Superman&quote; is George Bernard Shaw's response to the request of his fans to write a Don Juan themed play. This four-act drama often preformed without or with an abbreviated version of the lengthy third act can be seen as a simple comedy of manners or, as Shaw had intended, something quite more, an exposition of Nietzsche's philosophical ideas of the &quote;Superman.&quote; &quote;Man and Superman&quote; is considered to be one of Shaw's greatest works, a masterpiece of dramatic literature.
