‘Pygmalion’ is considered to be one of George Bernard Shaw’s greatest works. It is the story of how the arrogant phonetics professor Henry Higgins teaches the lowly flower girl Eliza Doolittle to lose her cockney accent and speak like a lady. ‘Pygmalion’ is a witty comedic play that examines the artificiality of social class distinctions and shows that it takes more than just talking like a lady to become one.
