100 years ago, Dalkey’s greatest, George Bernard Shaw, was the most famous man on the planet. He was a global brand before global brands existed, a socialist thinker, agitator, vegetarian, novelist, columnist, world intellect and fiercely proud Irishman. The only man ever to win both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar until Bob Dylan joined him in 2017.

Fintan O’Toole, author of Judging Shaw, talks Shaw with David McWilliams to assess the life and times of Torca Road’s finest GBS!
