Great Catherine: Whom Glory Still Adores is a 1913 one-act play by Irish dramatist George Bernard Shaw. It was written between two of his other 1913 plays Pygmalion and The Music Cure and focuses on Captain Charles Edstaston a very prim and proper British military attaché who in 1776 is assigned to the Imperial Russian court in Saint Petersburg during the 34-year (1762–1796) rule of Empress Catherine the Great and brings his equally prim fiancée Claire with him.
