Synopsis
Shaw's tale depicts his version of how the British lost the American colonies: because of a stupid mistake at the War Office someone forgot to tell Lord North to join up with General "Gentleman" Johnny Burgoyne and smash the rebels. Rev. Anthony Anderson is a peace-loving parson who ends up becoming a belligerent firebrand of a rebel. Dirk Dungeon, who, in typical Shawvian irony, starts out as a unrepentant, cowardly scamp and ends up as the personification of Christian virtues.
