Pygmalion

Pygmalion, Shaw’s most famous and beloved play, is the basis for the musical My Fair Lady. It’s a rollicking comedy that reminds us of the importance of being as fully connected to both our head and heart as we can, and to live our life as fully as possible. A professor of phonetics makes a wager that he can pass a bedraggled Cockney flower girl off as a duchess at an ambassador’s garden party by giving her the tools of education. But, before the lessons are over, she has become his teacher, as well: helping him learn to face his emotional self as an aware human. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women’s independence.
