Pygmalion
Pygmalion was written by the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw. It was named after the Greek mythological character Pygmalion, who fell in love with one of his sculptures, which then came to life. The story is set in London at the beginning of the 20th century. The main character is Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl. On a rainy evening she meets Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, who bets with a friend that he will turn the cockney speaking girl into a duchess by teaching her how to speak beautiful English, like a lady. He then introduces her into high society, where she is mistaken for an aristocrat. In the end, she never really turns into a duchess, but rather into an independent woman, and Higgins falls in love with her. Among the numerous adaptations of Shaw’s play, the most famous is the musical My Fair Lady, released in 1964.
