Reposting in honor of George Bernard Shaw s birthday, July 26 I am writing this review to honor my grandmother who recently passed away I lost track of the number of times we listened to the soundtrack of My Fair Lady either in her car, her apartment, or my house growing up To me Eliza Doolittle, Henry Higgins, and Colonel Pickering are as much the actors who played them as they are are the memories I created with my grandmother and great aunt while watching the movie or listening to its timeles [...]
Eliza has no use for the foolish romantic tradition that all women love to be mastered, if not actually bullied and beaten, says G.B.Shaw in the afterword to his famous play By the way, I think this quote should be memorized and repeated on the daily basis by the contemporary authors, especially in the YA genre, who attempt to create female characters Really Maybe I can start a campaign encouraging authors awareness of this quote HmmmmThis was one of the first plays I ve ever read, and to this d [...]
This is fun to read out loud in crazy English accents while stomping around your apartment The neighbors might not like it but screw em.
A lot of my reading at the moment seems to revolve around the relationship between art and artist, creator and creation.Reading other reviews on Pygmalion , I realise how strange my approach to it was, and how disappointed I was at first because my expectations were not met I chose it as part of a reading challenge I set myself a couple of years ago to read all Nobel Laureates in literature The title appealed to me, and I was thrilled to explore a modernist s take on the ancient myth of Pygmalio [...]
Pygmalion was an ancient Greek legend, who was a sculptor and a king He fell in love with his own ivory statue of his own ideal woman He prayed In response to his prayer, the Goddess gave life to the statue and then the king married it This much of information was sufficient for me to know why the title of this book was chosen by G.B Shaw, Pygmalion I very much liked the character of Mr Higgins in the play He is a professor and scientist of phonetics and very confident about his knowledge and ac [...]
I was surprisedis is not a love story I only vaguely remember the musical, and the outcome I envisioned is not what happens in the play.I remember Eliza Dolittle as a poor flower girl, and the bet between two upper class gentlemen to turn a street guttersnipe into a proper lady, but not the horribly chauvinistic treatment she receives or the choices she makes in the end.Totally enjoyed it
SPOILER A fountainhead of inspiration for countless projects, Pygmalion is actually not about love, and, this being a Shaw play, is all about social classes, manners and, what phonetics Also about humanity about the power play inherent in all types of relationships Higgins, undeniably a gay man completely up to give the Betty a total overhaul, is not loveable, not even likeable He s a tyrant but he is written o so well, with British wit to spare He is the prototypical academic a sociopath, even [...]
If you happen to be the Wayans Brothers and are stuck for ideas about where your next racist, sexist, gratuituously offensive comedy is going to come from, have you considered doing a gender and color reversed version of Pygmalion I feel it has real potential My first thought is to reunite Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher from Guess Who Mac, in drag, plays Henrietta, a black linguist who bets her friend Picky Oprah that she can turn preppy white boy Kutcher into a bro within six weeks Here s the wa [...]
9 of my 2018 Shaw ProjectMany people consider this to be Shaw s best play I m not among them nor is Major Barbara for that matter With that being said, I adore this script I do feel it is among Shaw s most accessible works The basis for the much beloved, happily ever after Lerner Lowe musical, George Bernard Shaw s 1913 play Pygmalion takes a much firmer tack on questions of class distinctions and female independence Those themes, so dear to Shaw s progressive heart, end up rather heartwarmingly [...]
This is the last book I will finish in 2012 as there are only 6 hours remaining in my day It is certainly a fitting book or rather play inside a book to end the year on For Pygmalion is a story about new beginnings and about transformation What better book to symbolise the changing of the year, I say The classic musical My Fair Lady is perhaps my favourite musical film that I have seen The acting is superb, the plotting excellent and all the music serves to add to the humorous feel of the film I [...]
My vision of Eliza Doolittle will always be Audrey Hepburn from the 1964 movie My Fair Lady But eight years earlier 1956 Julie Andrews nailed her portrayal of Eliza in the Broadway production of the musical Of course both of these award winning productions were based on George Bernard Shaw s play Pygmalion In the first London stage production Eliza was performed by Mrs Patrick Campbell, Shaw having written it with her in mind because of their unrequited love affair I enjoyed reading the play the [...]
4 5 stars I sold flowers I didn t sell myself Now you ve made a lady of me I m not fit to sell anything else Oh, I loved this play It is hilarious, wildly entertaining and is also profound in its criticisms of class structure and traditional gender roles If you have no idea what Pygmalion is, it is based of a Greek myth of the same name Now, I m lazy, and can t be bothered paraphrasing the myth to you or even researching it in detail for myself Pygmalion is commonly associated with the movie, M [...]
Una lectura que no ten a planeada en estos d as Por suerte, el desv o de los planes sali genial.Pigmali nes una obra de teatro distinta, que hace foco en un tema que no se aborda en estos d as y que se lee rapid simo porque divierte As de sencillo Cuento un poco el argumento, aunque ya muchos deben conocerlo por las versiones cinematogr ficas un especialista en fon tica Henry Higgins se encuentra casualmente con una vendedora de flores Eliza Doolittle cuya boca es, sin m s ni menos, una cloaca N [...]
One of George Bernard Shaw s most beloved plays, Pygmalion is the work on which the subsequent musical comedy, My Fair Lady, is based But the two works have important differences Shaw s work is far less sentimental and is throughout ambiguous, especially in its ending Further, in order that it might be readable, the accents of the various characters are not attempted in the text, except at the very beginning primarily to show that it would be unreadable if attempted Those readers who are famili [...]
Reading the play out loud made me laugh a lot It is smartly funny It is a good piece for the one who is planning to change his or her life radically.

Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse, Hear a Cornishman converse, I d rather hear a choir singing flat.Chickens cackling in a barn Just like this one Eliza Garn Henry I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that It s Aoooow and Garn that keep her in her place Not her wretched clothes and dirty face.Why can t the English teach their children how to speak This verbal class distinction by now should be antique If you spoke as she does, sir, Instead of the way you do, Why, you might be selling flowers, too An [...]

I really don t know why Pygmalion is still called a romance I mean, Shaw himself was very dissapointed at the fact that his socialistic drama became a success as a romance Shaw wanted to liberate his play from the traditional conventions of a romance, that s why he reversed the romantic story by giving a different end, marking Eliza s emancipation and independence If this was a typical love story, the two protagonists would have been married at the end But Shaw implies that Mr Higgings will neve [...]
it is a good book
You certainly are a pretty pair of babies, playing with your live doll I have seen My Fair Lady times than I can count I never get tired of it Whether it s school and community productions, Audrey Hepburn or Julia Roberts, it s just a wonderful show.But until now, I d never read it And of course, this trumps them all Pygmalion is only my second book of his, but I can say with confidence that I just love reading George Bernard Shaw This is a captivating play about relationships and social hierar [...]
This play is the first one that I ve read in a very long time Although I am familiar with My Fair Lady, and I have seen the play a number of times, I had never readPygmalion I enjoyed the play very much, even though it is a much crueler story than I had anticipated It s premise is that two men make a bet as to whether they can take a street urchin named Eliza Doolittle and change her to point where society deems her as royalty After they win, the girl is tossed out into the street with all her n [...]
Me he llevado una sorpresa Hace tropocientos a os que v la pelicula de My Fair Lady con Audrey Hepburn, pero creo recordar que no fue esto lo que me vendieron XdddTanto es as que me he quedado descolocada y a n no s si me ha gustado o no, por eso le pongo tres estrellas, bueno realmente 3,5.El caso es que ha habido cosillas que me han molestado y el profesor Higgins me ha parecido odioso y pedante, pero en cambio el final me ha encantado view spoiler veo m s l gico que Eliza y Higgins no se enan [...]

Shaw s Masterpiece16 April 2010 Pygmalion, in my opinion, is Shaw s piece de resistance if that is how you spell it It is a masterpiece While I can simply leave it at that I am compelled to say a lot about this play, but first, the plot Two English gentlemen and when I read this book I wondered if it was implied that they were homosexual bet as to whether they can take a street urchin and turn her into a lady by teaching her how to speak proper English They do and the experiment is successful, [...]
My Fair Lady is one of my very favorite musicals I have avoided reading anything by GBS because I don t care for his political views and because he was critical of Shakespeare I actually enjoyed reading this play It was very close to the My Fair Lady script, probably because Shaw also wrote the screenplay He was the first person to win both a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award The ending of My Fair Lady has always been a little unsettling for me The mythical Pygmalion was a sculptor who fell in lo [...]
