"Pygmalion" is a play written by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw. The play was first performed in 1912 and has become one of Shaw's most famous works. It is also the basis for the well-known musical adaptation, "My Fair Lady," created later. The story of "Pygmalion" is inspired by the Greek myth of Pygmalion. The play features phonetics professor Henry Higgins, who makes a bet that he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller with vulgar language and a Cockney accent, into a high-society lady by teaching her to speak properly. The play explores themes of social class, identity, language, and personal transformation. "Pygmalion" is praised for its humor, social commentary, and examination of Edwardian society norms in England. The play has been adapted in various forms, including film, and continues to be performed and studied to this day.
