Pygmalion

I have been putting off reading this particular play for a very long time.  I hated the movie My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn and Doctor Doolittle in it (sorry... I can't recall his name at this particular moment).  I hated how Liza just caved in at the end, cowed herself and came back to the professor...ugh! 
I haven't read any other pieces by Bernard Shaw but I have always wanted to simply because I had read somewhere that as well as being a great humanitarian, he was also a vegetarian.  
Take it from me, don't judge this play by movie standards, get a copy from somewhere and enjoy it as it was meant to be enjoyed.  I think you will really like it.  I did.
