Original Toronto Star caption: The Youngest artistic director of the world's only Shaw Festival, Paxton Whitehead, confesses he isn't a 'Shavian' at all. 'I don't agree with his politics, his eating habits, or his platonic affairs with women,' he says of Shaw, 'I just happen to think he wrote very amusing plays with very good parts for actors.'
