"My Homeschool drama group is performing My Fair Lady. I play Mrs. Eynsford-Hill and some other minor parts.
It was interesting to read both plays alongside each other. One thing that became clear while reading Pygmalion is that Higgins is really not a nice guy. In the MFL movie he somehow seems kind of charming; but in the play his abusive and self-centered nature is much more obvious. The ending is a bit hopeless and depressing."
"It was interesting to read Pygmalion side-by-side with My Fair Lady. What interested me more (and disappointed me that it wasn't included) was the reference to Shaw writing a follow-up to Pygmalion where Eliza ends up with Freddy. I would have like to compare since I never did like Eliza going back to Higgins in My Fair Lady--he never deserved it. I'm not sure Freddy would have either though. It was definitely interesting to compare. I'll have to see if I can find the follow-up that Shaw wrote."
"Surprisingly, Pygmalion was no where near as engaging as My Fair Lady. For the first time, my attention was drawn to the story's study of language, which was Shaw's original intent, but I was really distracted by how choppy and empty the story was. I had very little emotional response to the characters, except that Higgins came off as an even bigger jerk than in the movie."
