About the Author
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was born into a lower-class family in Dublin, Ireland. During his childhood, he developed a love for the arts, especially music and literature. As a young man, he moved to London and found occasional work as a ghostwriter and pianist. Yet, his early literary career was littered with constant rejection. It wasn’t until 1885 that he’d find steady work as a journalist. He continued writing plays and had his first commercial success with Arms and the Man in 1894. This opened the door for other notable works like The Doctor's Dilemma and Caesar and Cleopatra.
From the Back Cover
A dramatization of the critical relationship between Julius Caesar and the Egyptian ruler, Cleopatra. The play Caesar and Cleopatra, by George Bernard Shaw is an irreverent take on the political alliance that changed history. Shaw presents a shy young woman who falls under the influence of a much older man.
