Fifteen of the finest works by the world-renowned playwright, as heard on BBC radio.
George Bernard Shaw - or Bernard Shaw, as he preferred to be known - was one of Ireland’s foremost dramatists and thinkers. His plays range from contemporary satires to historical allegories, and are infused with ideas, insight, wit and wisdom. Included here are some of his best works, adapted for radio and brought together in reverse chronological order in one statement collection.
We begin with his prophetic political comedy The Apple Cart, set in the future and pitting the fictional King Magnus against his Prime Minister. Next is his masterpiece Saint Joan, dramatising the trials of Joan of Arc, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925. Heartbreak House lampoons England’s ruling elite before World War I, as they sail heedlessly towards catastrophe; Pygmalion explores feminism and the class system through Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle and irascible phonetics professor Henry Higgins; and in Androcles and the Lion, Shaw transforms Aesop’s fable to impart his thoughts on human frailty, religion and martyrdom.
The Dark Lady of the Sonnets imagines a meeting between William Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth I, while alternate history Press Cuttings sets the suffragettes against crotchety war veteran General Mitchener. Here, too, are the controversial The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet, banned in England for contravening blasphemy laws; the classic comedy Major Barbara, a tale of romance, rich privilege and a battle of wills; and the humorous philosophical drama based on the Don Juan theme, Man and Superman, directed for Radio 3 by theatrical icon Sir Peter Hall.
Also featured are early works Caesar and Cleopatra, a dramatised account of the relationship between the Roman dictator and the Egyptian queen; The Devil’s Disciple, set against the backdrop of the American War of Independence; The Man of Destiny, in which Napoleon enters into a battle of wits with a beautiful stranger; and Candida, about a vicar’s wife whose life is turned upside down by a young poet. Finally, Shaw’s acclaimed ‘problem play’, Mrs Warren’s Profession, probes issues of Victorian prostitution and double standards. And in a bonus documentary, devotees of the great author discuss his life, work and legacy.
Among the array of stars in these coruscating dramas are Ralph Fiennes, Judi Dench, Prunella Scales, Anton Lesser, Juliet Stevenson, Paul Merton, Ron Cook, Victoria Hamilton, Nicholas Le Prevost, David Suchet, Eleanor Bron, David Troughton, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Alistair McGowan, Al Murray, Morgana Robinson, Robert Bathurst, Leslie French, Marius Goring, Arthur Lowe, Denys Hawthorne, Rebecca Front, Alan Badel, Gregory Peck, Paul Ritter, Hannah Gordon, Edward Petherbridge and Maggie Steed.
Please note: this collection contains language that reflects the attitudes of the era in which the plays were written.

Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw were born two years apart and had remarkably similar backgrounds and early careers. But Wilde got on the wrong side of the English class system and died in early middle age at its hands. Shaw teased, and outraged, but never offended anyone; so he lived forever becoming a much loved celebrity, famous, and rich.
Wilde’s plays still seem as fresh as if they were written yesterday, and have urgent lessons for the days of Trump and Putin. Shaw seems to have slipped into some dank time-warp, his topics and his characters as fusty as Archilochus or Statius.
He’s still worth reading, if only to remind us how very remote the recent past is, and how silly people used to be. And may be still.
