Pygmalion remains one of the most popular stories – but mainly in the medium of the musical; the evergreen My Fair Lady. But much of the charm and wit comes from the words and timing in Shaw’s original play. Here are the characters of Professor Higgins, his friend Colonel Pickering, and their charge, Eliza Doolittle. Directed by John Tydeman, this delightful comedy is presented in its original play version, with the extended narrations setting the background and concluding the drama – a device perfectly suited to Audiobook.

None

Shaw really doth protest too much in both the foreword and the "sequel"; dude, you wrote a toxic romantic comedy, and if absolutely everyone reads it one way, maybe you're the problem. Pygmalion is a tad sharper than the 1938 film version and a lot sharper than the '64 singalong, and I'm still not sure if the whole white-man's-burden subtext is intended to be there or not, but I love how it manages to walk both sides of the street.
