Do politics and the playhouse go together? For Bernard Shaw they
most certainly did. As a playwright with a message he saw the
theatre as the ideal medium for conveying his view of life, which
was essentially socialistic. The theatre was to Shaw a latter-day
temple of the arts within a community.
But Shaw was, of course, multi-voiced, not only through the
characters he created but also in his own persona as public
speaker, essayist, tract writer and author of works on political
economy. Much of the thinking that is expressed in his nondramatic
works is contained also in his plays.
This work offers a readily accessible means of looking at the
nature and the progression of Shaw's thinking. All the plays
included in the major canon are reviewed and, except for brief
plays and playlets (which are grouped), they are presented in
sequential order.
