"John Bull's Other Island" is a play by George Bernard Shaw, first performed in 1904. It explores themes of nationalism, identity, and the complex relationship between England and Ireland. The title character, John Bull, represents the English perspective, while various Irish characters reflect different views on their national identity and aspirations for independence.
The play is set in an Irish village, where an Englishman, an architect, visits to develop a project. Through humorous and satirical dialogue, Shaw critiques both English imperialism and Irish nationalism. The characters engage in discussions about land, culture, and politics, revealing the misunderstandings and prejudices that exist between the two nations.
