Pygmalion: Probably Much Funnier On The Stage

There's a reason George Bernard Shaw was the preeminent dramatist of his time and why people still produce his work. Only I didn't see it when I read Pygmalion. It's hard to read something that was meant to be acted. People have that same problem with Shakespeare. Professor Higgins was a horrible man. As Monica says, as a person, he's Terrible F. I think I need to see the play to appreciate it better.

I am going to start calling horrible men PigMaleon however.
