George Bernard Shaws famous comedy performed in Czech.
The phonetics specialist Professor Higgins meets the flower girl Liza on the street one rainy day and proceeds to teach her how to speak correctly. This neglected creature is consequently transformed into an enchanting lady and a star of the salons. The author gave his most famous play the subtitle A Romantic Comedy, yet he also gave free rein to his famously acerbic pen and ironic spirit. A man wants to create a woman in his own image but she defies him and becomes a being with opinions of her own. Nobody has ever written as entertainingly about emancipation as Shaw.
