	About the Playwright: George Bernard Shaw
		A noted social reformer, Shaw wrote plays which dramatized social commentaries, and in 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his achievements.
		That's not to say that Shaw's plays were not good theatre; to the contrary, Shaw was a master of wordplay, paradox, and character, and audiences were entertained by his works even more than they were enlightened.
		Shaw's plays, they contended, were seriously flawed because of their wordiness, their excessive argument, and their lack of interesting story.
