"I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation."
– George Bernard Shaw
Irish playwright and Nobel Prize winner George Bernard Shaw was a man of many talents and many causes, working as a music and theatre critic, novelist and playwright, and fighting for changes to the voting system and the reform of the English alphabet.
With more than 60 plays to his name, as well as novels and countless articles and essays, Shaw is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938) for his work on adapting the stage version of Pygmalion for the screen. Pygmalion is his best-known play, due partly to its adaptation into the Broadway musical My Fair Lady. Other well-known Shaw works include Candida, Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Heartbreak House, Back to Methuselah, Major Barbara and The Doctor’s Dilemma.
