"Heartbreak House" is a play by George Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright who became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Heartbreak House is a play written by George Bernard Shaw. According to A. C.

The "Russian manner" of the subtitle refers to the style of Anton Chekhov, which Shaw adapts.
