英国二十世纪杰出剧作家萧伯纳的经典代表作《凡人与超人》集浪漫喜剧、神话故事与哲理寓言于一身，向观众提出了“何为生存”的哲理性问题。托尼奖最佳男主角得主、曾获两次奥斯卡奖提名和三次金球奖提名的英国著名男演员拉尔夫·费因斯扮演主角杰克·坦纳。值得一提的是，这也是该经典剧作时隔 34 年后重现伦敦舞台。

Academy Award® nominee Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler’s List, Oedipus at the National Theatre) plays Jack Tanner in this exhilarating reinvention of Shaw’s witty, provocative classic. Jack Tanner, celebrated radical thinker and rich bachelor, seems an unlikely choice as guardian to the alluring heiress, Ann. But she takes it in her assured stride and, despite the love of a poet, she decides to marry and tame this dazzling revolutionary. Tanner, appalled by the whiff of domesticity, is tipped off by his chauffeur and flees to Spain, where he is captured by bandits and meets The Devil. An extraordinary dream-debate, heaven versus hell, ensues. Following in hot pursuit, Ann is there when Tanner awakes, as fierce in her certainty as he is in his. A romantic comedy, an epic fairytale, a fiery philosophical debate, Man and Superman asks fundamental questions about how we live.
