''Un Petit Drame'' (1884) is a short play by George Bernard Shaw. It was Shaw's first completed dramatic work, and the only one written in French. The play was created because Shaw was practicing French with his friend Ida Beatty. Michael Holroyd says that "''Un Petit Drame'' satirizes his uncle Walter Gurly's household, carries a number of jokes about his family and friends, and demonstrates his talent for rearranging autobiographical fragments so that they become absurdly foreign (literally so here) to himself."〔 Holroyd, Michael, Bernard Shaw: The Search for Love, 1856-1898, Volume 1, Random House, 1988, p.274.〕 Walter Gurly was a ship's surgeon who was a colourful drunkard and, according to Shaw, "always in high spirits and full of humour that was barbarous in its blasphemous indecency".〔''Bernard Shaw'', Random House, 2011, p.16.〕 The play was unpublished during Shaw's lifetime. It was first published in 1959 in ''Esquire'', marketed as "Bernard Shaw's First and Hitherto Unpublished Play". The French text was accompanied by an English translation by Norman Denny and an introduction by Stanley Weintraub.〔"Un Petit Drame; Bernard Shaw's First and Hitherto Unpublished Play", ''Esquire'', LII (December, 1959), 172-74.〕 ==References==
