Lousy playwright? Really?
Granted, I've only read Shaw, I haven't seen him performed, but I've loved the play's that I've read. Why do you call him lousy? (Er, maybe I should start another thread. Hold on while I take this conversation elsewhere.)

and I'm thinking of the play that was made into the movie with Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson, but I'm going blank on the name - "You can't handle the truth". Saw it on a horrible blind date, but it was a very powerful play! |

His plays usually start off well, but at some point one of the characters will go into a lengthy exposition on the theme and just talk and talk and talk, and all . . . action . . . stops . . . while . . . people . . . talk . . . about . . . what . . . the . . . play's . . . about.
Yawn.
