About this book

"The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet" by Bernard Shaw is a one-act play first produced in 1909. Set in the American West, this religious tract in crude melodrama follows Blanco Posnet, a drunk and reprobate accused of stealing the Sheriff's horse. As the trial unfolds, witnesses testify and secrets emerge about what really happened that night. Shaw's controversial statements about God sparked a censorship battle with British authorities, leading to the play's defiant premiere in Dublin instead of London.
