Sponsored by the International Shaw Society, The Shaw Festival, and

cover a broad spectrum of topics but will give some preference to  
topics on the two Shaw plays scheduled at The Shaw Festival, SAINT  
JOAN and ANDROCLES AND THE LION, and on comparisons of Shaw to other  
playwrights and of Shaw's plays to other plays featured in the 2017

the same deadline, ISS Travel Grants and Bryden Scholarships are  
available to emerging scholars: see

The keynote address will be by Tim Carroll, the new Artistic Director  
at The Shaw, who will be directing both Shaw plays.  Substantial
