My astonishing self [devised by Michael Voysey from the writings of George Bernard Shaw].
In this one-man show celebrating the 125th anniversary of Shaw's birth, Irish actor Donal Donnelly traces Shaw's life, beginning with his arrival in London from Ireland and including reminiscences of this early family life, his courtship of Charlotte Payne-Townshend, his romance with actress Ellen Terry, and his meeting with Isadora Duncan.
