The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet and Fanny's First Play
�A tearing, flaring, revivalist drama� was how Desmond MacCarthy described The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet. Set in America�s Wild West and aptly subtitled �A Sermon in Crude Melodrama�, this single-act play concerns the conversion of a horse thief desperate to �keep the devil� in him and die game. Published in 1909, it brought Shaw into conflict with the Lord Chamberlain of England, who banned it on the grounds of alleged blasphemy, and it was twelve years before the play was performed in a London theatre. In an interview Shaw commented, �I am sorry that Fanny�s First Play has destroyed the cherished legend that I am an unpopular playwright � for the first time I have allowed a play of mine to run itself to death � And the worst of it is it will not die.� First performed in 1911, the play is a delightful farce in which Shaw debates some of his favourite subjects: middle-class morality, marriage, parents and children and women�s rights. And, deliberately concealing his authorship, Shaw took the opportunity to satirize contemporary drama critics who, he claimed, �do not know dramatic chalk from dramatic cheese when it is no longer labelled for them.�
The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet - With Preface on the Censorship
"The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet: A Sermon in Crude Melodrama" is a 1909 play in one act by George Bernard Shaw. Described by Shaw as a religious tract in dramatic form, it was originally refused a performance licence due to comments made by the protagonist about God, considered blasphemous at the time. George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 - 2 November 1950) was an Irish playwright, polemicist and critic. He had a significant influence on Western theatre, politics, and culture, and wrote more than sixty plays during his career. Shaw received the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature and shared the 1938 Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, which he won for the film adaptation of "Pygmalion". Other notable works by this author include: "The Admirable Bashville " (1901), "Androcles and the Lion" (1912), and "Saint Joan" (1923). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
