Summary Bernard Shaw on the American Stage is the first comprehensive study of the production of Bernard Shaws plays in America. During his lifetime (1856-1950), Shaw was Americas most popular living playwright; productions of his plays were outnumbered only by Shakespeare. Forty-four of Shaws plays were staged in America before his death, eight more posthumously. Eleven of the productions were world premieres. Bernard Shaw on the American Stage tells the story of the fifty-two premieres, which, apart from a few fragments, is his total dramatic oeuvre. The book also includes, again for the first time, production data and concise overviews of dozens of the most notable American revivals of the plays, from the 1890s to the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. Illustrationsproduction photographs, programmes, theatre buildings, playbills, actors studio portraits inform the study throughout. L. W. Conolly is Emeritus Professor of English at Trent University, Canada, and Resident Scholar of The Shaw Festival, Ontario. He is also Literary Adviser to the Shaw Estate, a Senior Fellow of Massey College, University of Toronto, an Honorary Fellow of Robinson College, University of Cambridge, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and former President of the International Shaw Society. Dr Conollys previous publications on Shaw include, but are not limited to, critical editions of The Philanderer (2015), Pygmalion (2008), and Mrs Warrens Profession (2005), and studies such as Bernard Shaw: On Politics (2016), The Shaw Festival: The First Fifty Years (2011), Bernard Shaw and the BBC (2009), and Bernard Shaw and Barry Jackson (2002).
