If your first sentence refers to productions of Shaw's plays, it would appear that you are overlooking the Avo Theatre productions of ARMS AND THE MAN and YOU NEVER CAN TELL which both took place in the last decade. Or does Vista not count?

Oops. My bad.

While there is no reason why Jeff Smith needs to like Shaw, it is hardly the case that his plays have virtually disappeared from the stage. For several years PROJECT SHAW in New York has been presenting monthly staged readings of every play in the Shavian canon: when a cycle is finished, they start again. A very similar enterprise, SHAW CHICAGO, shows no sign of folding its tents. The SHAW FESTIVAL at Niagara on the Lake has been putting on at least a couple every summer for the past fifty years. Anyone tracking the "Google Shaw Alert" will find news practially each week of new productions of one or two Shavian dramas --and not only those best known. In association with the NATIONAL TRUST, Michael Friend Productions presented two plays by Shaw in 2010 and plans two more this year. If all this constitutes neglect, not a few prominent dramatists would be happy to suffer it.

Where does it say I don't like Shaw? I pointed out that San Diego hasn't seen much Shaw, especially in the major theaters, in the last decade. I bemoan that fact in this week's review.

except for his humour i wonder about Shaw's relevance in this time

Pygmalion was one of the better ones

the kind of protagonist in them really don't exist anymore...at least i hope they don't...lol

now we're talking!
