Happy #WorldPuppetryDay_2024 . GBS loved puppets, he even preferred them to actors! He went to puppet shows as a kid in Dublin and later became friends with British puppet builders Waldo & Muriel Lanchester. He wrote his final play specifically for puppets: 'Shakes Versus Shav'.

Love this! Shaw as the #puppeteer manipulating Maurice Evans & Frances Rowe. An #illustration by #AlHirschfeld. First published Oct 12, 1947 and used on the poster for Shaw’s play ‘Man And Superman’. #AlHirschfeld #puppet #ManandSuperman #CIFF #capitalirishfilmfest #illustration

A quote from one of Shaw’s other characters talking about how all of Shaw’s characters talk about Shaw. #georgebernardshaw #shakespeare #puppets #puppetry #shortfilm #art #animation #capitalirishfilmfest

The amazing @afisilvertheatre which will screen ‘Shakes Versus Shav’ and other incredible Irish films later this month at the #capitalirishfilmfestival.

Engaging in the art of #puppetry can be a playful & therapeutic activity. It allows the #puppeteer to tap into their creativity, explore different aspects of their personality through various characters, while also offering a distinctive medium for storytelling. #ShakesVersusShav

The cover of the original playbill for 'Shakes Versus Shav' from 1949. Sadly Shaw never got to see the puppet play performed.

The flm 'Shakes Versus Shav' screens at the fantastic IFI Cinema this Saturday as part of the IFI Documentary Festival.
