Pygmalion (1913) by Bernard Shaw is a witty and thought-provoking play that tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who is transformed into a refined lady by Professor Henry Higgins, an expert in phonetics. The play explores themes of class, identity, language, transformation, and the limits of social mobility, often with humor and sharp social critique. Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright, critic, and political thinker. Known for his brilliant wit and incisive commentary, Shaw wrote over 60 plays, including Man and Superman and Saint Joan. A staunch advocate of social reform, education, and gender equality, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 and remains one of the most influential dramatists of the modern era.
