![Fanny's First Play [with Biographical Introduction]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61HcS%2Bg2S6L._SL210_.jpg)
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) is revered as one of the great British dramatists; credited not only with memorable works; but the revival of the then-suffering English theatre. Shaw was born in Dublin; Ireland; left mostly to his own devices after his mother ran off to London to pursue a musical career. He educated himself for the most part; and eventually worked for a real estate agent. This experience founded in him a concern for social injustices; seeing poverty and general unfairness afoot; and would go on to address this in many of his works. In 1876; Shaw joined his mother in London where he would finally attain literary success. Written in 1911; Fannys First Play was at first written anonymously; then later accredited to George Bernard Shaw. This work is a play within a play; with the main intention of satirizing theatre critics.
