		For Taylor however, all the signs pointed to "Back to Methuselah," a work that had captivated her as a freshman at Wellesley.
		"Back to Methuselah" was written between 1918 and 1920.
		A complete picture of Shaw would balance the timeless playwright with the always-current political essayist and public speaker (he is said to have made some 2,000 political orations to a wide variety of audiences for many different causes), according to Evenden.

		Back to Methuselah opens with In the Beginning, which is designed to parallel the opening chapters of Genesis.
		The play is brought to a conclusion by the summation that refers back to the events and descriptions of the last play, by the shift in reference to the character of Haslam, the man who repented and chose to live for three hundred years, and then by shifting back to the ancients again.
		This also refers back to the conversation between the two Ancients and the children[16] in which the He- Ancient expresses the wish to be a vortex.

	Emory Report
		In Methuselah, which is part of Emory's Year of Reconciliation, Shaw asks how long one would have to live to gain the maturity necessary to create a truly wise and just society.
		"Although Back to Methuselah is pitched to the eternities, it was immediately inspired by the apocalyptic horrors of World War I, and key passages of Shaw's wartime essays and speeches are directly quoted in the dialogue."
		Methuselah will be staged in two parts in the Mary Gray Munroe Theater in the Dobbs Center.

	OnMilwaukee.com Arts and Entertainment: MCT's collaborative Shaw Festival a major undertaking
		Mounting the five substantial one-act plays that make up "Back to Methuselah" is a major effort and something of a risk, as long works often make audiences nervous.
		"Back To Methuselah" -- which runs through Sun., May 6 -- is a most amusing and thought provoking work that quite fairly demonstrates Shaw's comic genius and his considerable reputation as an Irish savant.
		Certainly Montgomery Davis has made a heroic decision when he decided to stage "Back To Methuselah" for the first time in over 25 years in the U.S. His knowledge of the work enabled him to go right to the core of this epic and bring it to the stage in a clear and exciting staging.

		Back to Methuselah, which he finished in 1921, is based on two strong Shavian emotions: detestation of the social consequences of Darwinism and despair at the horrors unleashed by the first world war.
		His answer was to come up with a scientific religion, Creative Evolution, in which mankind through will and imagination achieved longevity and wisdom.
		Seeing Back to Methuselah, what also hits one is Shaw's subversive humour and ability to question his own thesis.

	theatreguidelondon- back to methuselah - 2001
		This "greatest hits from Back to Methuselah" approach doesn't quite work; it may be a lot better than nothing for the Shaw connoisseur, but it is still too much, with too little reward, for most of us.
		Shaw's subject is nothing less than all of human history and future, starting with Adam and Eve, and going "as far as thought can reach," which in Shaw's case is 30,000 years from now.
		The best elements of Back to Methuselah are there, in much more accessible form, in Shaw's more familiar plays.

	Pygmalion - Back to Methuselah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In PYGMALION (1913) Shaw uses the myth to show Socialist truths about the artificiality of the class structure as the phonetic sciences change the social and economic well being of a Cockney flower seller.
		In BACK TO METHUSELAH, the playwright employs the same myth to demonstrate the folly of human engineering as a world seeks a higher form of evolutionary advancement.
		This later Pygmalion is not the successful Socialist but the failed scientist who misguidedly seeks a better world by creating an eternal human machine.

	Review of Back To Methuselah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		At times you can't help thinking it's a practical — as if, to make us realise what it must be like to live for 300 years, George Bernard Shaw wrote a play that felt that long.
		And that's with David Fielding's abbreviated version of GBS's Back To Methuselah now running even more nippily in The Pit than it did last summer in Stratford; at barely three and three-quarter hours, it's now around a third of the duration of the full version.
		Shaw was always a challenging thinker; sadly, his intellectual vitality did not always translate into dramatic vibrancy.
