Christopher Newton has placed the Shaw Festival firmly on the map of worldclass theatre. His best Shavian productions are revolutionary reinterpretations of plays that are normally treated as Edwardian period pieces or didactic entertainments. In this first fulllength study of Newton, critic Keith Garebian shows how the pairing of Shaw and Newton, that once seemed not bloody likely, has become one of the most exciting enterprises in Canadian theatre, with startling results. George Bernard Shaw & Christopher Newton begins with a biographical section that sketches some of the most perasive influences on Newtons artistic sensibility, and suggests what had particularly inspired his evergrowing fascination with Shaw. Successive chapters document Newtons concept of Shaw as a surrealist, and contain detailed descriptions of productions at Niagara on the Lake from 19801990. Among other things, readers are shown a Caesar and Cleopatra set in a Shadow Box; Heartbreak House as a dreamplay of the night and anarchy; Major Barbara as a double quest; You Never Can Tell as part comic romance, part farcical metaphor; the metatheatrical suggestions of Man and Superman; and a Misalliance as a metaphor of a convulsive new age. As Garebian shows, Newtons approach for all its paradoxes, succeeds in making George Bernard Shaw our dynamic contemporary.
