    About this audiobook

    Relive this hilarious drama retold in audiobook format, complete with the witty narrative and directions of Shaw's original playscript.

    Henry Higgins, a phonetician, agrees to coach and groom Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl and transform her into a socially acceptable person, no less than a duchess - in just six months!

    Timeless themes of equality and social class are explored in a lighthearted, comical manner, raising many questions such as:

    Can Eliza "I'm a good girl I am!" live up to their expectations?

    What will become of her afterwards?

    What happens when her Father, an "undeserving" dustman comes into money and becomes a "victim of the middle class"?

    What is middle class morality?

    Listeners are invited to answer these questions for themselves - or just sit back and be entertained by Shaw's comic wit in all it's glory.

    George Bernard Shaw

    Bernard Shaw, acclaimed Irish playwright and Nobel laureate, has left an indelible mark on Western theater, culture, and politics. Over the course of his life, he wrote more than sixty plays that addressed prevailing social problems through comedy. Shaw was also a prolific essayist and lecturer on economics and sociological subjects, and was eventually awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his work, marked by its use of stunning satire to encapsulate humanity.

      Dec 7, 2018

      This year I grabbed a lot of books almost totally at random and finished most of them, some in a few hours (hello, Jean Rhys’s gorgeously unnerving Wide Sargasso Sea, which I read in a hotel in Tijuana in the spring), some over many months (looking a
