ON THIS MONTH: THEATRE Bernard Shaw Bestriding the world Actor Paddy O’Keeffe is reviving his ‘joyous romp’ of a one man show, Bernard Shaw Invites YOU, in Lewes and Brighton this month. I meet Paddy in his Brighton home, where he tells me that the format is similar to stand up comedy, due to its interconnected vignette storytelling. O’Keeffe himself certainly makes for eloquent and jovial company, boding well for an entertaining evening with his Bernard Shaw. It starts off as I come on stage and talk about my fascination with Bernard Shaw, and how I long to discover the real person behind the mask of ‘GBS’. I explain how he bestrode the theatrical and political world like a colossus. Then black out! I storm on as Shaw, declaring that the purpose of life is not to discover yourself, but to create yourself, so that you can become the person you need to be in order to do what you’ve come here to do. When Shaw first came to London, never mind getting published, he had difficulty getting a word understood. The first half of the play is about the public man, his earlier life in London, his success on the stage, his politics, his connection with Ireland, his defence of the 1916 rising. The second half is with Shaw in a psychiatrist’s chair being questioned about his childhood, and then there is an audience Q&A after every performance. I’m planning to take the show to Spain next year for the International Shaw Society conference. We went to Delhi… and there was one guy staring at me all the way through. His hand was the first up at the Q&A and I thought ‘oh no!’ He said “I first came across Shaw as a student 50 years ago and I fell in love with the Photo by Daniel Lawton man and his works. And you’ve brought him to life for me tonight.” Actors like engagement and interest, but you often assume they’re engaged because they hate it. But in fact he was loving it. Hesketh Pearson, an Englishman who did a biography of Shaw in the 50s, said that ‘no one since the time of Tom Paine has had so definite an influence on the social and political life of his time and country as Bernard Shaw’. He used to be a staple in the 60s and 70s. When in doubt, you would do two stock productions: there would be a Shakespeare and a Shaw, and they would be bound to sell out. The Irish connection is often forgotten. The English assume that the likes of Shaw and Wilde are Irish in name only. In fact they were quintessentially Irish. I love his wit and I share his politics. He was a socialist, and his speeches on poverty and inequality are as fresh and meaningful today as they were when he delivered them in the 1890s and the 1900s.
