Press Cuttings

George Bernard Shaw, an influential Irish playwright and critic, self-educated himself after moving to London at twenty. Initially unsuccessful in publishing novels, he found his niche in drama, writing over sixty plays that blend comedy with serious themes. His notable achievements include winning a Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925 and an Oscar in 1938 for "Pygmalion," making him a unique figure in literary history. Shaw's work often reflects his political activism and critical insights into society.
