Pygmalion

A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of the sculptor who falls in love with his perfect female statue, George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion is also a barbed attack on the British class system and a statement of Shaw’s feminist views. In Shaw’s hands, the phoneticist Henry Higgins is the Pygmalion figure who believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into the darling of high society. The one thing he overlooks is that his "creation" has a mind of her own.
