Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, published in 1912. The story focuses on Eliza Doolittle, a lower-class flower girl, and Henry Higgins, a phonetics professor who tries to teach her to speak correctly in order to pass her off as a high society lady. The play explores themes of social class, language, and personal transformation.
George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1913) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and was awarded the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature.
