The plays of George Bernard Shaw are reflective of the Edwardian period. The film gives vistas of Edwardian London: the manners, the dress and the etiquette from the period of Man and Superman.

The two scenes shown from Man and Superman, (1903 version), address aspects of Shavian and Edwardian theatrical styles. "Shaw" is seen rehearsing his actors with lines taken from The Art
of Rehearsal, a book in which Shaw outlined his specific manner of directing.
