The Reverend Morell, a socialist preacher, brings a penniless young poet, Eugene Marchbanks, into his home,&nbsp;which is dominated by his fascinating wife, Candida. With its single stage setting and small cast of six characters, Shaw&rsquo;s play is deceptively simple. Centered on a romantic triangle and parodying courtly love and the domestic drama of Ibsen, <i>Candida</i> also abounds with classical allusions, the fervor of a religious revival, and poetic inspiration and aspirations.
