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.

    Back to Methuselah Section 15
    24 Oct 2026
    In which a grim dialogue unfolds between a wizened oracle and a fiercely self-assured emperor, revealing a society where longevity breeds contempt for past glories and warlike ambition, while outsiders wrestle uneasily with rites and revelations too vast for their fragile sensibilities. The visitors, caught between imperial pomp and unsettling truths, find themselves both spectators and unwitting participants in an ancient drama where the value of life and the burden of immortality weigh heavily on all.

    Back to Methuselah Section 13
    20 Oct 2026
    In which a discussion of prudence and mortality leads to a technological invitation, abruptly declined for reasons both practical and personal, and an elderly Englishman, garbed in remnants of a bygone era, arrives in a stony Irish landscape where he finds himself bewildered by the strange customs and minds of its ageless inhabitants. He recounts tales of imperial glory and vanished races to a young native named Zoo, whose youthful simplicity and lack of certain familiar sentiments underline the deep temporal chasm and cultural estrangement that shadow his pilgrimage to a once-familiar but now alien land.

    Back to Methuselah Section 12
    18 Oct 2026
    In which a small assembly of government officials confronts the astonishing reality of unnaturally prolonged life, pondering its implications with a mixture of levity, dread, and political intrigue, all the while grappling with their own youthful infirmities of mind and spirit. The tension between youthful vitality and the wisdom of age unfolds in a discourse marked by prejudice, wit, and the poignant awareness that humanity’s ultimate maturity may lie just beyond the horizon of time.
