Synopsis: Listen, I will tell you a great secret. I am very subtle; and I have thought and thought and thought. Back to Methuselah was first published in 1921 and first performed a year later. David Fielding's abridgement makes it possible to play this five-part visionary epic over one evening. It was specially commissioned for the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2000 revival to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Shaw's death. | ||||
