Later turned into My Fair Lady by Alan J. Lerner and Frederick Loewe, this play by George Bernard Shaw is much more satisfying than the screen adaptation (I haven't seen a stage production). I think most people offended by Audrey Hepburn's Liza stooping meekly for Henry Higgins' slippers will enjoy George Bernard Shaw's original immensely. The play doesn't take any easy ways out, but it would feel false, I think if it did. Hooray!
Highly recommended for all drama lovers and anyone who saw the film version of My Fair Lady. Overall highly recommended for a broad audience from more sophisticated middle school readers to adult. :)

About Me
- Faustess
- I was a public librarian at a fairly large library in Los Angeles County for 8 & a half years. I love reading and I'd like to spread the joy of reading & books to as many people as possible. It's a personal challenge for me to match books with the right people. When I get it right, it's very satisfying!
