I motivi del successo sono facilmente intuibili: si sa che la favola di Cenerentola riveste sempre un grande fascino per il pubblico e qui assistiamo ad una versione modernizzata e vivace, dove i toni fiabeschi lasciano il posto ad una sorta di "socialismo borghese" che un po' spiazza e un po' diverte.
I dialoghi poi sono scoppiettanti, un fuoco di fila di battute, aformismi e giochi di parole che nascondono una sferzante critica sociale; infatti la brillantezza del testo non deve trarci in inganno, si affrontano temi importanti come la condizione della donna e la lotta di classe ed è prova dell'immenso talento di Shaw il fatto che riesca ad inserirli senza intaccare la leggerezza e la scorrevolezza della scrittura.
Peccato solo per le pagine conclusive, una chiosa pedante e didascalica in cui l'autore ci illustra il futuro dei protagonisti, sconfessando il finale vero e proprio che era volutamente lasciato in sospeso.
Aldilà di questo passo falso resta una commedia irresistibile, colma di un umorismo graffiante ma mai cinico.… (altro)
