The symposium will convene late on
Friday afternoon, August 18, at the Shaw Festival for a short welcome and
social gathering, allowing time for participants to attend Too True To Be Good at the Court House Theatre later that
evening. Saturday morning and afternoon
will be occupied with papers and panel discussions, followed by the Saturday
evening performance of Arms and The Man at the Festival Theatre. On Sunday morning there will be a brief
meeting of the International Shaw Society, followed by a discussion on staging
Shaw with actors and/or directors from the Shaw Festival. The symposium will conclude by noon on
Sunday, giving participants an opportunity to have lunch before seeing a play
of their choice that afternoon.
All symposium sessions will be held
at Shaw Festival venues, details to be provided later. It is hoped that proposals for papers and
panel topics will be directed towards provoking lively discussion, for which
ample time will be allowed. Submissions
from younger scholars are particularly encouraged.

much as possible on Too True To Be Good and Arms and The Man) should be sent to Dr. Leonard Conolly, preferably
