George Bernard Shaw
(1856-1950)
George Bernard Shaw, the eminent playwright, regularly performed
in the early days of the Malvern Festival. The Festival
brought many of the world's great musicians and dramatists to the
area. This event led to the building of the festival theatre, which
is now part of Malvern Theatres entertainment centre presenting
major drama productions with top actors and concerts catering for
all tastes. A smaller music festival now takes place in May and a
drama festival is held in August.
