A star-studded BBC radio production of Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion -
plus bonus drama The 'B' Word, telling the story of the play's
scandalous opening night Irascible phonetics professor Henry
Higgins makes a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can
train Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle to talk 'like a lady' and
pass as a duchess at the Ambassador's Ball. As the day of reckoning
approaches, can Eliza convince the assembled aristocrats that she's
one of them? And what will become of her afterwards? This
effervescent radio version of Shaw's classic comedy features a
stellar cast, including award-winning comedians Alistair McGowan as
Henry Higgins, Morgana Robinson as Eliza Doolittle and Al Murray as
Alfred Doolittle. Also featured on this release is The 'B' Word,
written by and starring Alistair McGowan as Bernard Shaw. Centring
on the shocking opening night of Pygmalion - the first time that
the word 'bloody' was used on the British stage - it also explores
the passionate love-hate relationship between Shaw; his leading
man, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (Richard McCabe) and his leading
lady, Mrs Patrick Campbell (Charlotte Page), who played the
19-year-old Eliza Doolittle at the age of 49. Cast and credits
