After watching My Fair Lady (with Audrey Hepburn) I was unsure what I was going to think of this play. But I LOVED George Bernard Shaw's ending (ie. his sequel which is at the end of the play) - he made her a strong independent woman - demanding what she deserved and getting more than even what she asked or knew - his ending made both her character and the character of Higgins far more lovable and just seemed to make more sense to who she was as a person throughout the play -- I also just love Shaw's commentary on society at that time and women at that time in his 'sequel' - it was very well written and interesting and quite funny at times (much like his prequel at the start).

I will definitely re-read again later when I don't have Audrey on my mind and set as Liza, as I think Julia Andrews would have done a killer job in the musical version of this play as well. But again that ending not as good as this one ! (And Im a romantic at heart so that is tough for me, but I just think this version is far superior)
