and the fact of the matter is, it always takes longer than you expect it to. when will i learn that about painting in general, and scene design in specific? :)

ah, well. i think now i'll move on to watching my fair lady while i paint scene design. or maybe alternate between painting scene design and painting backgrounds for bald soprano. i'm trying to multitask, and get as much done tonight as possible. my body is currently screaming at me, because i've spent so much time hunched over on the floor, i think i may grab my coffeetable, and start painting on it - because it's taller than the floor. (oh, is *that* an obvious statement. :) it's coffee size. :) )

anyone know when my fair lady is set? not in the 50s, right?

It could possibly be the 1920s, though some people say it's older.. I'm thinking the 20s because of the costumes, but I could be way way off..

actually, Pygmalion was written in like 1912, I think..so it's probably not the 20's could it be victorian?

Okay, lets just say Halima doesn't know.. thought she knew.. doesn't know..

Final answer, Halima doesn't know

The play, "Pygmalion", and the film of "My Fair Lady" are set in 1912. I believe the film, "Pygmalion" (the screenplay was also written by Shaw) was updated to take place at the time of its filming, in 1938. It's been awhile since I've seen it, so I can't be sure.
