DescriptionMaximize/Minimize

2002 AudioFile Earphones Award

Pygmalion remains one of the most popular stories - but mainly in the medium of the musical; the evergreen "My Fair Lady". But much of the charm and wit comes from the words and timing in Shaw's original play. Here are the characters of Professor Higgins, his friend Colonel Pickering, and their charge, Eliza Doolittle.

Naxos AudioBooks expands its drama section with a new digital recording directed by John Tydeman. This delightful comedy is presented in its original play version, with the extended narrations setting the background and concluding the drama - a device perfectly suited to audiobook.

Music: Music of the period

ReviewsMaximize/Minimize
The Guardian ...
“Here is the author’s original, not the version tweaked by the play’s first London director for Eliza to marry Professor Higgins, which so enraged Shaw...As Eliza, Lucy Whybrow nips our lacrymal ducts with some real pathos...This Pygmalion heralds a series to be eagerly anticipated.”
 
The Independent ...
“Anton Lesser is a true audio star... Lesser performs brilliantly as Professor Higgins in Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion , one of the first of a new series of plays specially produced for audio by Naxos and Oneword Radio, the digital audiostation."
 
AudioFile Magazine...
“Naxos’s production wisely incorporates a narrator who sets the scene with Shaw’s own stage directions, as he expanded them for publication. Under John Tydeman’s confident direction, the excellent cast fully realizes the intelligent humor and persuasive characterizations of the text [and] provides a splendidly satisfying rendition.”
