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.

This delightful comedy is presented in its original play version, with the extended narrations setting the background and concluding the drama.

Eliza's voice tended to screechiness a bit too often for me. Good story, voiced like a radio play.

Oh Eliza.

Read this for school and it was really good for a book. Although sometimes the voices can get a bit annoying

Great

I've never cared for the movie 'My Fair Lady.' But Anton Lesser is one of my favorite actors, so I thought I'd give this a try. The story is quite different - and much, much better - than the movie. Anton Lesser portrays Henry Higgins as a younger man - perhaps in his 30's - so there is not the icky 'dirty old man' aspect that Rex Harrison conveyed. The ending is more satisfactory, as well. Very funny, well acted by the cast, and much better than the movie adaptation!

Better than 'My Fair Lady'

The voice actors in this dramatic reading were absolutely fantastic! (It's not simple "narration.") The actor who brought Alfred Doolittle to life was my favorite, though everyone read quite naturally. I highly recommend this version.

Amazing Performance!

A delicious delight. A rare occasion for me to listen at 1x speed. A peek into the era in which upward social mobility (American style) is emerging, alongside disgusting crusty old ways. I was, however, let down by the last 30 minutes; hence the star deduction.

Savor the flavor
