Some foxing and front book hinge is coming loose. Large inscription and signature by Author on front free-end page "Dec. 1976. For "Barbara" of Century Theatres (the book I promised you.) Thanks for listening one compliment, "track down," and my friend Ray Sharkey, who wonderfully played, "Flash" Sincerely, Robert Wittman (with address). ; 111 p. 22 cm.; 111 pages; After George Bernard Shaw descended upon London in 1876, he enriched the theater with play after play, and his work became one of the most significant collections of modern dramatic literature by a single playwright. Although Shaw turned out a number of rather insignificant novels between 1880 and 1883, he soon became known as an extremely talented critic of music and drama. In 1894, Shaw composed Candida, a play he grouped with a number of other dramas that came to be regarded as Shaw's "Pleasant Plays." It takes someone like Robert Wittman to "read between the lines" - to grasp the core of Shaw's innermost thoughts and present a unique and provocative version of Candida. Wittman, a serious student of the works of Shaw, is well-acquainted with the playwright's "subconscious." His version of Candida is marked by an overwhelming display of sensuality-a characteristic which, whether we admit it or not, plays a great role in all of our lives. ; Signed by Author
