Augustus Does His Bit A True-to-life Farce

In Augustus Does His Bit, Shaw again pokes fun at the smug British upper classes, which are incompetently represented by Lord Augustus Highcastle. Lord Highcastle commands a military base in a small British town during World War I where he is determined to do his part to defeat the Hun.This one act play succeeds not only as a witty comedy full of one-liners, but also as a surprisingly good farce.
