Too Clever to be Good

on BBC Radio 3

I owe more to Bernard Shaw than I suppose to anybody.... except, shall we say, the Sermon on the Mount. (LORD soper) While the plays of George Bernard Shaw continue to be both championed and performed, sceptics scent in his work the hot air of an Irish windbag. David Wheeler presents a documentary in which Shaw's standing as a man of letters is re-assessed. With contributions from
Lord Brockway, Lord Soper, Robert Skidelsky.
Malcolm Muggeridge , J. C. Trewin. John Russell-Brown , Nicholas Grene , Stanley Weintraub and Ellen Pollock.
Producer SAM COLLYNS (R)
