Слайд №2. Биография.

At the age of twenty one, Shaw came to live in London. His first five novels were rejected by London publishers, but became well sort after when Shaw became a famous playwright.

In his own words, Shaw said he was a writing machine. He wrote 65 plays and many pamphlets. His interests lay in politics, socialism, communism, humanist issues.

He used comedy as a way of translating what he thought about society and it worked.

To Shaw, all living things, human or animal were equals and should be treated with equal respect. In his world all humans (men and women; rich and poor), were equals and have the right to bring out the best in themselves, no matter what class you were born into.

At the age of ninety four Bernard Shaw died on 2nd of November, in 1950. It was the first time the lights on Broadway went out as a mark of respect.

Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek mythological figure. It was first presented on stage to the public in 1913.

IV. The Vice-President: Today we are going to read the play “Pygmalion” in our theatre of the English Club. Let’s review the rules of the Readers’ Theatre.
