George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and short story writer. A Nobel Prize in Literature and Academy Award winner, he wrote primarily in the genres of satire and black comedy. The majority of his works contain prevalent social issues of the time all laced with comedy. His more famous plays are Mrs. Warren's Profession (1893), Arms and the Man (1894), Candida (1894), You Never Can Tell (1897), and Pygmalion (1912). Pygmalion was filmed twice and Shaw won the Academy Award for best screenplay for the 1938 version. Its second adaptation was the musical My Fair Lady.
