> Mr. Lunn in Short Plays by George Bernard Shaw.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mr. Lunn

**First appearance:** 0032-overruled

## Snapshot

A husband in Overruled whose presence in the marital comedy helps expose how thin the line is between fidelity and farce.

## Who they are

Mr. Lunn belongs to the quartet of spouses in Overruled whose foreign flirtations collide when they return home. He is part of the machinery by which Shaw tests whether married people can be honest about their wandering desires. His role in the early arc is to keep the comic misunderstandings turning, so that the play's argument about love and convention can unfold.
