| Summary | "Captain Brassbound's Conversion" by Bernard Shaw is a play written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in Mogador, Morocco, centering on the interactions between a Scottish missionary, Mr. Rankin, and various characters including Captain Brassbound and his motley crew. The play explores themes of colonialism, morality, and the social dynamics between different cultural backgrounds. The opening of the play introduces Mr. Rankin as he tends to his garden, where he is soon interrupted by a character named Felix Drinkwater. Their conversation reveals Drinkwater's connection to Captain Brassbound, a figure with a dubious reputation as he is known both as a coastal trader and a pirate. As they discuss the arrival of English travelers, Lady Cicely Waynflete and her brother-in-law Sir Howard Ellam, the underlying tensions of justice and personal grievances surface, particularly related to Brassbound’s past. As the characters navigate their interactions and the complexities of their respective backgrounds, it sets the stage for a clash of cultures and moral dilemmas in the unfolding drama.
