Eliza Doolittle is a poor flower-seller in Victorian London. Professor Higgins chooses her for an experiment - he decides to teach her how to speak like an upper-class lady, but things don't go exact

Sparkling with wit, wisdom and wonderful songs including, I Could Have Danced All Night, Wouldnt It Be Loverly and Get Me To The Church On Time, the musical play based on Bernard Shaws Pygmalion has been delighting audiences since it was first performed in the 1950s. When overbearing Professor Higgins stumbles on flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, in Covent Garden he recognizes that her hideous vowels and forgotten consonants are all that separate her from the upper classes. Higgins wagers that he can pass her off as a Duchess in a matter of weeks. But what will become of Eliza when the bet is over? This edition of My Fair Lady includes the complete script and a selection of black and white stills from the Oscar-winning film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.
