Pygmalion
(1913)
Loved it! Was so easy to read, as a play should; entertaining, without giving up on substance. It's just a real pleasure to read. There's not much to add to that.
P.S. The "What happened afterwards" bit is not really necessary and feels, at times, too fanciful to be credible, when compared to the actual play.
