69. Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw


Delightful! I had only seen My Fair Lady and had never read the original play that has quite a different ending! This was so well done. I love listening to plays as I recover from this tibia fracture. Last night was one of my harder nights and listening to something that makes me laugh is just what the doctor ordered.
