"His first play Widowers' houses takes as its subject matter the sharp class struggle during the 1880s in England. Though no working class people appear in the play, their miserable living conditions as well as the capitalist's ruthless exploitation of the workers' few pennies of hard-earned money are presented in the figure of the rent collector. In 1894 he wrote Mrs. Warren's profession, a social problem play, which exposes the basest and dirtiest deed of the capitalist class. It tears off the decent mask of 'civilization' and exposes the rotten, stinking inner reality of the capitalist society".
