Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw audiobook.
Genre: drama
Pygmalion (1913) is a play by George Bernard Shaw based on the Greek myth of the same name. It tells the story of Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics (based on phonetician Henry Sweet), who makes a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can successfully pass off a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, as a refined society lady by teaching her how to speak with an upper class accent and training her in etiquette. In the process, Higgins and Doolittle grow close, but she ultimately rejects his domineering ways and declares she will marry Freddy Eynsford-Hill – a young, poor, gentleman. - The play was later the basis for the successful movie adaptation 'My Fair Lady' with Audrey Hepburn as Eliza and Rex Harrison as Prof. Higgins.

Mrs. Warren’s Profession by George Bernard Shaw audiobook.
Genre: drama
In Mrs. Warren's Profession, George Bernard Shaw turns a drawing-room visit into a razor-sharp confrontation with the economics of respectability. Vivie Warren is young, brilliant, and determined to build an independent life through hard work and clear thinking. But when she finally spends time with her mother, Kitty Warren, the polished story of success that has always hovered at the edge of their relationship begins to crack. A few well-placed acquaintances gather around them - including the charming, unreliable Frank Gardner; his prudent father, the Reverend Samuel Gardner; and the wealthy, predatory Sir George Crofts - and each brings a different version of what society calls virtue, ambition, and survival. As secrets are forced into the open, Vivie must decide what kind of adult she will be, and what she owes to family, money, and a world built on double standards. Bold, witty, and unsettling, Shaw's play examines how poverty, power, and hypocrisy can shape lives, especially for women, and asks whether moral judgment is ever separable from the conditions that make certain choices seem inevitable.

A Man of Honor by George Eggleston audiobook.
Genre: drama
In the uneasy calm after the Civil War, Robert Pagebrook, a young New Yorker with a proud streak and a wounded heart, finds himself unmoored. A professional setback and a romantic disappointment have left him restless and self-critical, so when an invitation arrives from Virginia kin he barely knows, he takes it as a chance to begin again. At Shirley, an old family place shaped by memory, custom, and Reconstruction-era change, Pagebrook is welcomed into a world where lineage still matters, manners conceal sharp judgments, and every neighbor seems to have a theory about what a man owes to his name. As Robert navigates cousins, country characters, and the quiet pressures of Southern society, he discovers that hospitality can come with expectations, and affection can test pride. Then an abrupt financial shock from home leaves him stranded and indebted, forcing him to choose between easy evasions and the harder work of living up to the standard he admires most: honor. With keen observation and moral tension, Eggleston turns a visit into a trial of character, where love, loyalty, and self-respect all hang in the balance.
