Pungent Satire

Pungent Satire.

Bernard Shaw is supposed to have remarked when he read "Journey's End" that it contained enough material for half-a-dozen plays. We could say of "Hell's Bells" that it held enough material for half-adozen extravs. Every line and every word were significant, there were thrusts, quips, and skits in every speech, while the songs had a sting that would have provoked a professorial banning three years ago.
