1900. With photographs from the productions starring Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. Many of Shaw's early plays were either banned by the censor or refused production. He began the practice of writing the challenging, mocking, eloquent prefaces to his plays, which were sometimes longer than the play itself. In 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Shaw has dramatized the story of The Emperor of Rome and the Queen of the Nile and Antony and Cleopatra as only he could have imagined them.
