Pygmalion

Pygmalion is a brilliant comedy of manners by George Bernard Shaw that explores themes of class, identity, and transformation. First performed in 1913, this timeless play critiques societal norms and the power dynamics inherent in personal and social relationships. Shaw’s sharp wit and insightful commentary make it a classic of modern drama.

The story centers around Professor Henry Higgins, an expert in phonetics, who makes a bold wager with his friend Colonel Pickering. He claims he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl with a thick Cockney accent, into a refined lady capable of passing as a duchess at a high-society event. Over time, Eliza’s remarkable transformation challenges not only societal expectations but also Higgins’ own attitudes toward class and humanity.
