  Henry Higgins, a phonetician, agrees to coach and groom Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl and transform her into a socially acceptable person, no less than a duchess - in just six months! 
  Timeless themes of equality and social class are explored in a lighthearted, comical manner, raising many questions such as: 
  Can Eliza "I'm a good girl I am!" live up to their expectations? 
  What will become of her afterwards? 
  What happens when her Father, an "undeserving" dustman comes into money and becomes a "victim of the middle class"? 
  What is middle class morality? 
  Listeners are invited to answer these questions for themselves - or just sit back and be entertained by Shaw's comic wit in all it's glory.
