«Pigmalió» is a free adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's comedy by Joan Oliver, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (112 pages, in Catalan).
The play revolves around the power of language: an ordinary girl, with coarse speech and little education, becomes an elegant and sharp woman, mistress of her own destiny. The contrast of verbal registers serves to question social barriers and the construction of identity.
It belongs to the collection «El Galliner. L'Escorpí/Teatre», published in Barcelona in 1986. It includes a prologue by Francesc Vallverdú.
Of interest to readers of classical theatre, students of Catalan literature, and followers of George Bernard Shaw's adaptations.
Joan Oliver i Sallarès, also known by his pseudonym Pere Quart, was a Catalan poet, playwright, literary manager, translator, narrator, and journalist. He is considered one of the most important twentieth-century writers of Catalonia.
