About

George Bernard was born in Dublin in 1856. Before becoming a playwright, he wrote music and literary criticism. Shaw used his writing to attack social problems such as education, marriage, religion, government, health care, and class privilege.

Shaw was particularly conscious of the exploitation of the working class. Shaw was the only person to win a Nobel Prize in Literature and an Oscar for the play Pygmalion. Press Cuttings was first performed in London in 1909. This play is based on the editorial and correspondence columns of London's daily papers.
