excellent performance

the voice actors were excellent in the first chapter. having not seen the stage play, I was sometimes a bit confused. but overall it was a fun listen. the second chapter continues the story but the narrator's speech pattern and some mouth noises were distracting. after speeding the player up to about 1.4x the mouth noises were easily ignored and the story was interesting.

amazing story

the author never makes it 100% clear what their narrative is interested in accomplishing, as it should be. Well worded and worth your time.

I am thoroughly entertained. I wear head phones and I noticed it was smooth or easy on the ears.

Riveting

I am a serious My fair lady fan but this production was very engaging and I listened in one go. Lovely cast.

Lovely surprise

One of my all time favorite movies is “My fair Lady”. It introduced me to G. B. Shaw and his works. There is nothing like well thought out and instrumented dialogue. And it is brought to life by those who love the writing word. Keep it coming

Did I miss...

....where it said this was an edited version? I just consulted a script and there are scenes missing. That's the only thing that kept it from being five stars across the board.
