    <body><![CDATA[I've always meant to read Shaw, but I never got around to it until now.  I'm not sure why I've avoided this play.  I guess I thought it'd be just like &quot;My Fair Lady&quot;.  Well, I was very wrong.  Nothing against the musical, but this is an intelligent, funny, and occassionally brutal work.

    <body><![CDATA[Great witty writing. Shaw definitely does some interesting things in writing a play that was meant for both stage and screen. He very effectively writes parts meant for the screen that would not be possible on stage, but are not crucial for the audience to know. But these parts are not just superfic...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33479030">more...</a>]]></body>
