The very firsy Shaw Festival London gave audiences a taste of Bernard Shaw's genius this July. It was a fitting celebration of the centenary of Shaw's Nobel Prize in Literature, which was presented to him in 1926.
A collaboration between the Shaw Society and The Irish Cultural Centre the new festival was a lively programme of lectures, films and talks combined with a new production of Shaw’s 1894 play Candida.
"All those who attended the festival will surely hope that it becomes an annual event."
David Wooten reviews The Shaw Festival in UK online theatre magazine Plays International & Europe 17 July 2026
