The Gadfly (play)
''The Gadfly or The Son of the Cardinal'' (1897-8) is a dramatic adaptation by George Bernard Shaw of Anglo-Irish writer Ethel Lilian Boole's novel ''The Gadfly''. It was written as a favour to the author, who was a friend of Shaw's.
==Creation==
''The Gadfly'', a novel about a young man's embrace of revolutionary politics, had been an enormous success for Boole. She had asked Shaw to create a dramatised version for copyright reasons, as she wished to retain control over dramatic versions of the book.〔 Shaw had to write it very quickly to assert priority. Shaw said he undertook the task for an "ancient revolutionary comrade", referring to Boole as a "female nihilist".〔Therese Bonney & R. F. Rattray, ''Bernard Shaw, a Chronicle'', Leagrave Press, Luton, England, 1951, p.135.〕 Writing to Ellen Terry on 29 January 1898, he said he was overwhelmed with work: "What a week! Nay, a fortnight! Three first nights, two County Council election meetings, four Vestry committees, one Fabian committee, a pamphlet to write about the Southwark police business (just completed), an adaptation of a novel--, the Julius Caesar article, and one frightful headache. There's a program for you--!"〔Archibald Henderson, ''George Bernard Shaw: Man of the Century'', Appleton-Century-Crofts, New York, 1956, p.263.〕
