George Bernard Shaw was born in Portobello, Dublin, Ireland on 26 July 1856. He was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist
, and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1912) and Saint Joan(1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He died at the age of ninety-four of renal failure
precipitated by injuries incurred when falling while pruning a tree. He was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium
on 6 November 1950.
