Back to Methuselah

"Back to Methuselah" by George Bernard Shaw, presented by The Online Stage, explores the concept of creative evolution through a narrative that spans from the Garden of Eden to a distant future. Written after the First World War, this ambitious work consists of five interconnected plays: "In the Beginning," "The Gospel of the Brothers Barnabus," "The Thing Happens," "Tragedy of an Elderly Gentleman," and "As Far as Thought Can Reach." The audiobook features a diverse cast and delves into human development influenced by perceived needs rather than blind natural selection.
