Synopsis
In this play, phonetics experts Higgins and Colonel Pickering take on the challenge of raising the spirited flowergirl Liza Doolittle from the gutter to a refined lady through teaching her the Queen's English. 

Review
A clever story and good insight into how malleable human nature can be. One star deducted as the story dealt less with the "how" and more with setting the scene. 

The play itself was a little dissatisfying in that there were many unanswered questions surrounding the outcome of such a huge transformation for Liza, but the epilogue provided much of the explanations needed.

There were interesting parallels with the Ovid poem, where Pygmalion (here Higgins) created his perfect woman in a statue named Galatea (Liza), with Shaw answering the question of if love is possible when one is the other's god.
