I enjoyed this thoroughly but would say that there are parts of the story that are dated. Of course that is bound to happen with an early 20th century play. Also, with an excellent cast.

A good, solid classic

I loved this, I thought that George Bernard Shaw's voice
and Stephen Fry's was very apt
for this. I did not like Eliza Doolittle's voice after her transfermation into a lady though. Thought it was a bit long.

Excellent!

The performance is presented in a classic style, flawless execution in every aspect. The adaptation, actors' performances, captivating voices, intricate sounds, and evocative soundtrack tunes all seamlessly blend. The timing of the scenes transports you, invoking a sense of being present and capturing the enchantment of time travel to the set scenes. It's a brilliant work that would make any playwright, such as George Shaw, very proud, as it's a great tribute to his work.

A tremendous audio dramatisation of Shaw's classic
