Shaw on Writing Plays

Shaw

Part of the book series: Interviews and Recollections Series ((IR))

Abstract

From Archibald Henderson, ‘Dramatists Self-Revealed. G. B. Shaw’, [1925], unpublished typescript in the Currall Collection, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. This questionnaire formed the basis for a heavily embroidered two-part article which Henderson published in the Fortnightly Review, under the title ‘George Bernard Shaw Self-Revealed’ (Fortnightly Review, n.s. CXIX [April and May 1926]). A fuller discussion of play-writing and other topics between Shaw and Henderson is recorded in Henderson’s book, The Table-talk of GBS (London and New York: Harper, 1925).
