Shaw, Irwin (1913–84), playwright. Born in New York and educated at Brooklyn College, the writer briefly gave promise of becoming an important dramatist, coming from his early antiwar play
Bury the Dead (1936) and the character study
The Gentle People (1939). His other theatre works included
Siege (1937),
Retreat to Pleasure (1941),
Sons and Soldiers (1943),
The Assassin (1945),
Patate (1958), and
Children from Their Games (1963). Although Shaw's sympathies fell in line with the leftish sentiments of many playgoers and critics, his later writings were wanting in terms of theatrical effectiveness. He finally abandoned the theatre to become a popular novelist.
