NEW: Shaw’s BBC broadcasts are now available in CD format. 

Just click on this line for more information.

 

NEW: The ORION SHAW PROJECT, available at http://shaw.yorku.ca/, is a Canadian venture that invites teachers to use the materials found on this site in the teaching of Shaw.  It focuses each year on the two plays being produced at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, but is archiving teaching materials from past years, which ultimately should result in a searchable database of not only Shaw’s plays but in which you can find everything you always wanted to know about Shaw and weren’t afraid to ask.  Part of this website is currently not available to anyone who is not hooked into the Canadian system, but eventually the entire world will be able to use it.   We count the days!  

 

PROJECT SHAW IN NEW YORK: The third Monday evening of every month (usually), David Staller produces a concert reading of one or more of Shaw’s plays, at the Players Theatre in Gramercy Park.  Highly recommended. Go to www.projectshaw.com for additional information and to purchase tickets.  You may also write to the Gingold Theatrical Group; 520 Eighth Avenue #312, NY, NY 10018 or call 212-355-7823 or email dstaller@gingoldgroup.com.

That Shaw was a born character in his own right seems attested to by the frequency in which he appears as a character in the fictional works of others.   For an annotated bibliography of just the occasions of his appearance as a character in dramatic works, see http://www.shawsociety.org/Shaw-as-Character.htm.
