Bernard Shaw
Bernard Shaw’s ambitious and provocative five-part play, 'Back to Methuselah,' is a sweeping philosophical drama that explores the possibilities of human evolution and longevity. Beginning in the Garden of Eden and projecting forward to the year 31,920 AD, Shaw presents a metabiological pentateuch that challenges conventional notions of life, death, and the human potential. Through a series of interconnected scenes and characters, Shaw grapples with themes of creative evolution, the nature of progress, and the ultimate destiny of humankind. The play’s enduring appeal lies in its bold intellectual vision and its willingness to confront fundamental questions about the meaning of existence. 'Back to Methuselah' remains a thought-provoking and imaginative work that continues to resonate with readers and audiences interested in the intersection of science, philosophy, and drama.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
