Steve Fanelli makes these palettes one by one, by hand – and will take them back for refreshes as needed too!

Instead, Shaw used this preface to comment upon the new style of drama (or simply what he calls New Drama), a name applied to dramas such as his or Ibsen's, plays which were not written to be commercial successes, but to be intellectual vehicles which would make the audience consider (or think about) their life - to be intellectually aware of their historical place in civilization.
