This is one of my favorite works, and I think there's a good argument for being one of the more popular English works Librivox hasn't got to yet. It's got all the wit and humor, combined with cutting social satire of George Bernard Shaw's better works. It is a play, which makes it more challenging, I know, but it's in modern English. I'm not going to do it myself, but I think if someone is looking for a larger dramatic work, this could be a good one to take up. It's also copyright-free pretty much world-round, as GBS died in 1950.

It might be a good idea to post this in Play Suggestions in the Readers Wanted: Dramatic Works Forum.
