Widowers' Houses (1892) was the first play by George Bernard Shaw, the famous Irish playwright and Nobel Prize winner.
It is one of the three plays Shaw labelled as "Plays Unpleasant", because its purpose is not to entertain its audience - as the traditional Victorian theater was supposed to - but the purpose of "Widowers' Houses" was to raise awareness of social problems and served as criticism of capitalist behavior.
