George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion: Eliza Doolittle transformed from guttersnipe to a lady

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you once read it for an assignment, read it again! If you have never read it, pick it up now!
Review: The story of Pygmalion is the first in my memory that captured me in all its forms: the classic myth, this play (in which I played a bit part once upon a time), the Broadway production, and the theatrical version, My Fair Lady. Though I first read...

Date of Review:  May 5, 2005

Alternative To A Monologue

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: Buy it used. It's not worth the new price
Review: What is the least interesting part of a play? My honest answer: the monologue. Why the monologue? A monologue, stripped down to its core, is an actor or actress standing onstage talking to him or herself. That is as exciting as watching paint dry...
