&ldquo;How He Lied to Her Husband&rdquo; 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.<br /><br />How He Lied to Her Husband is a one-act comedy play by George Bernard Shaw, who wrote it, at the request of actor Arnold Daly, over a period of four days while he was vacationing in Scotland in 1904. In its preface he described it as &quot;a sample of what can be done with even the most hackneyed stage framework by filling it in with an observed touch of actual humanity instead of with doctrinaire romanticism.&quot; The play has often been interpreted as a kind of satirical commentary on Shaw&#39;s own highly successful earlier play Candida (which one of the characters gets tickets to see).
