''Heartbreak House: A Fantasia in the Russian Manner on English Themes'' is a play written by George Bernard Shaw, first published in 1919 and first played at the Garrick Theatre in November 1920. According to A. C. Ward, the work argues that "cultured, leisured Europe" was drifting toward destruction, and that "Those in a position to guide Europe to safety failed to learn their proper business of political navigation".〔Shaw, Bernard. ''Heartbreak House A Fantasia in the Russian Manner on English Themes''. With an Introduction and notes by Ward, A.C. London: Longmans Green and Co Ltd. 1961, p.164〕 The "Russian manner" of the subtitle refers to the style of Anton Chekhov, which Shaw adapts. ==Characters== *Ellie Dunn *Nurse Guinness *Captain Shotover *Lady Utterword *Hesione Hushabye *Mazzini Dunn *Hector Hushabye *Boss Arthur Mangan *Randall Utterword *Burglar (Billy Dunn) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heartbreak House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
