Play synopsis: The action takes place in London and Granada in 1903. ‘Mr. Whitefield has recently died, and his will indicates that his daughter, Ann should be left in the care of two men, Roebuck Ramsden and Jack Tanner. Ramsden, a venerable old man, distrusts Jack Tanner, an eloquent man with revolutionary ideas. In spite of what Ramsden says, Ann accepts Tanner as a guardian, and she defies Tanner’s revolutionary beliefs with her own beliefs. Tanner’s dedication to anarchy is unable to disarm Ann’s charm, and she ultimately persuades him to marry her. Eventually, Ann chooses Tanner over her more persistent suitor, a young man named Octavius Robinson.' Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_and_Superman.
