If you can't appreciate what you've got, you'd better get what you can appreciate.
George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion premiered to audiences in 1913 and was an instant sensation. It introduces Eliza Doolittle as the flower girl plucked from obscurity by phonetics teacher Henry Higgins, who attempts to elevate her into high society. What follows is a sharp critique on poverty, inequality and the rigid British class system of the Edwardian age, as Eliza gains her independence despite Higgins' indifference and disregard.
Widely considered to be one of the most important scripts in modern British theatre, Pygmalion remains Shaw's most popular play and has inspired countless adaptations for stage and screen.
