Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek
mythological character. It was first presented on stage to the
public in 1912. Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins makes a bet
that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza
Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by
teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important
element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a
sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a
commentary on women's independence.
