    This play remains timelessly entertaining because of the way it introduces a character who has up until now remained in one section of her culture and through a series of events bridges the gap of her cultural world simply by altering the way she speaks, her mannerisms etc. It takes on the concept of moving up in society despite ones financial status and being able to change ones stature in life from working class to upper class, so to speak.  This is the same reason why movies like "Working Girl" with Melanie Griffith and TV shows like "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" with Will Smith have done so well.
