   A scene from Fanny's First Play (3-act-comedy, 1910-11) written by the British playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) and produced at the Little Theatre, London, on April 19, 1911, having run for 622 performances.

   Fanny's First Play is a 1911 play by George Bernard Shaw. It was first performed as an anonymous piece, the authorship of which was to be kept secret. However, critics soon recognised it as the work of Shaw. It opened at the Little Theatre in the Adelphi in London on 19 April 1911 and ran for 622 performances. The mystery over the authorship helped to publicise it. It had the longest run of any of Shaw's plays.
