Bernard Shaw's Village
1949 , Ayot St Lawrence (Hertfordshire)
Cat no. 1695
A documentary about the village of Ayot St Lawrence and its famous resident George Bernard Shaw.
The village of Ayot St Lawrence is a quiet and remote medieval village set in the Hertfordshire countryside, and where gypsy caravans add a colourful touch. The village's claim to fame is that George Bernard Shaw, the world's greatest dramatist, lives and works here. He was drawn to the solitude of Ayot St Lawrence. Shaw socialises with his neighbours, converses with the sculptor of his new statue and entertains American actor Danny Kaye in his garden. Shaw and Kaye decide to enact a little scene for the cameraman.
