Sinopsis

Bernard Shaw on the American Stageáis the first comprehensive study of the production of Bernard ShawâÇÖs plays in America. During his lifetime (1856-1950), Shaw was AmericaâÇÖs most popular living playwright, productions of his plays were outnumbered only by Shakespeare. Forty-four of ShawâÇÖs plays were staged in America before his death, eight more posthumously. Eleven of the productions were world premieres.áBernard Shaw on the American Stageátells the story of the fifty-two premieres, which, apart from a few fragments, is his total dramatic oeuvre. The book also includes, again for the first time, production data and concise overviews of dozens of the most notable American revivals of the plays, from the 1890s to the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. Illustrations-production photographs, programmes, theatre buildings, playbills, actorsâÇÖ studio portraits- inform the study throughout.
