a very quick, enjoyable, lighthearted play that i give 3.5 stars!
i knew the basics of the story from the movie "my fair lady"- i have never seen the whole thing, but i've watched enough to get the basic idea of the plot. eliza in the play seems quite different from the movie version- she is more likely to stand up for herself and what she wants. the commentary shaw provided in his work was an insightful look into the british class system.
though i (mostly) enjoyed the play, it dragged enough in some places for me to justify not giving it a higher rating than 3.5. however, it was still good enough for me to devour in a day, so a better-than-average rating is, i believe, what it deserves!
