SEMINAR IN BRIONI, June 2009:
CANCELED. Brioni is the island off
of Croatia where the Shaws and the Gene Tunneys spent a memorable month
together in 1929, and this proposed seminar was to commemorate that, but the
combination of impossible logistics and a very unfavorable exchange rate has
forced us to forgo this pleasure. SHAW MEETINGS

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. For abstracts and photos from the June
