The George Bernard Shaw Library presents the works of George Bernard Shaw in full: plays, prefaces, arguments, provocations, and all the inconvenient ideas respectable society might prefer to leave unopened.

Shaw wrote to entertain, certainly. But also to irritate, unsettle, contradict, and make his audience think. Here you can hear his words as they were meant to unfold: not as quotations or summaries, but whole, alive, and given room to argue their case.

    In which two scholarly brothers, one a former clergyman and the other a biologist, engage in lively discourse about the prospects of extending human life and the challenges of modern faith, science, and politics within a sunlit Hampstead study. The unexpected arrival of a fleet of political figures and a spirited young woman ushers in a candid exploration of principles, electioneering, and the evolving mores of society, coloured by genteel scepticism and sharp wit.

    In which the primordial family grapples with the ceaseless struggle between creation and destruction, embodied by the aged Adam's digging and the warlike Cain's boasting of conquest and death, whilst Eve, caught between them, mourns the fading of wonder and the serpent’s vanished wisdom. Their spirited discourse unfolds amid dreams of a higher life beyond mere survival, with hopes kindled for a time when mankind will live not by bread and battle alone but by something altogether nobler and more divine.

  • Back to Methuselah Section 7
    Oct 8 2026
    In which a pair of primordial beings confront the unsettling reality of mortality and the burden of endless existence, grappling with the voice of an ancient serpent whose subtle wisdom challenges their understanding of life, death, and creation. The serpent’s riddling discourse on imagination, renewal, and the tension between certainty and chance lays the groundwork for the nascent concepts of love, hope, and the fragile bonds that hold their eternal garden together.
