In Good King Charles's Golden Days
In Good King Charles's Golden Days is a play by George Bernard Shaw, subtitled A True History that Never Happened. It was written in 1938-39 as an "educational history film" for film director Gabriel Pascal in the aftermath of Pygmalion's cinema triumph. The cast of the proposed film were to be sumptuously clothed in 17th century costumes, far beyond the resources of most theatre managements. However, by the time of its completion in May 1939, it had turned into a Shavian Restoration comedy. The title of the play is taken from the first line of the traditional song "The Vicar of Bray".
