A delight! I never knew how the dialogue in the movie musical matched the play so perfectly. But it was a delight to read this.

3.5 stars.
The concept of this play is very good, and it’s a thoroughly enjoyable read (especially when you do the Cockney and upper-class accents!).
I do prefer the movie/stage production of this play though, and this is mainly to do with the ending. It probably says a lot about my level of intelligence, that I like the chick flick, romcom kind of interpretation, rather than Shaw’s more highbrow feminist, idealist play, but there we go!
I would probably recommend this is fans of the film, but otherwise, there are probably better plays you could read with your time (I’m thinking Streetcar…).
