“Passion, Poison, and Petrifaction” 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.
Passion, Poison, and Petrifaction is a short play by Bernard Shaw. It is a comic mock-melodrama, written to raise funds for charity.
Late at night, Phyllis, the maid, is combing the hair of her employer, Lady Magnesia Fitz Tollemache. Phyllis expresses foreboding and the fear that she will never see her beloved mistress again. Magnesia retires to sleep, serenaded by a heavenly choir singing ‘Won’t You Come Home Bill Bailey’. A murderous figure enters, brandishing a dagger. Before he can stab Magnesia she wakes, and recognises her husband.
