Shaw’s literary works, which include five novels, more than fifty plays and numerous critiques of art, music, books and drama, won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925 and the Oscar for the best screenplay of the film version of his play Pygmalion in 1939. He was also a politician, an economist, a Fabian socialist, and a philosopher, and wrote extensively on all these topics, as demonstrated by the selections on display.
Shaw vs Shakespeare: A Meeting of the Minds
Thursday, May 24, 2007
Featuring members of ShawChicago Theater Company
Two world class play-wrights square off in ShawChicago’s adaptation of the rarely-produced Shakes vs Shav. Timeless issues of war and wooing, princes and pawns, empires and everyman are woven together from each author’s canon. Written by Shaw in 1949 and originally intended to be a puppet show at the Malvern Marionette theatre in England, this mad farce has Bernard vying with William for the title of “World’s Greatest Playwright.”
