Synopsis
1916. A biography of the playwright George Bernard Shaw. Most of Shaw's early plays were either banned by the censor or refused production. He began the practice of writing the challenging, mocking, eloquent prefaces to his plays, which were sometimes longer than the play itself. In 1925 he won the Nobel prize. Contents: A Preliminary View; The Man; The Evidence of the Plays; The Social Thinker; The Poet and Mystic; The Theater Craftsman; and Shaw's Place in Modern Drama.
