Hey, guys! It's time for another post! I'm going to be talking about my senior project, itself. In an earlier post, I mentioned there was a play that inspired My Fair Lady. This play is titled Pygmalion (Pig-mah-lee-uhn). If you have not seen My Fair Lady, I'll give you the plot of the play, as briefly as possible. This play starts with groups of people wandering the streets on a winter's day. The main character, Eliza Doolittle, is on the streets selling flowers when she meets these two men: Henry Higgins and Colonel Pickering. She wants to work in/run a flower shop and asks Henry Higgins for help on her phonetics, so she can speak like a proper lady. He accepts her want for help as a bet with Col. Pickering saying that he can make her a lady in time for the Embassy Ball.
My project itself is taking part of Act III from page 64 to page 79/ (possibly originally) 85. This is when Higgins has Eliza come to Mrs. Higgins' house during her at-home day, while she has company over. This is a practice test to see if Eliza is ready for the Ball. If I take the project to past Mrs. Eynsford-Hill's exit, Henry and Pickering ask Henry's mother for her opinion on whether Eliza's ready or not.
There are also two concerns I have with this section of the act. One concern is time. It may take up more time than I have. The other concern is when Henry and Pickering are talking over each other, getting louder and louder. That may become too much for the audience to bear. If I change it, I'll let you know.
