Melissa Errico on Classic Leading Lady Misogyny

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/13/theater/on-a-clear-day-my-fair-lady-eliza-doolittle.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Farts&action=click&contentCollection=arts&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront

It's an interesting article, and she's becoming a fine essayist, but it seems to me removing Warren from "Clear Day" and getting out from under his thumb is what robs Daisy of growth and agency at the end of the show. I wish she had touched upon that, but having her ignore such a blatant change to the text, a change that specifically touches on the point of her article, makes me think she wanted to avoid this particular (and egregious) point for some reason.
