Pygmalion

Pygmalion is a witty and thought-provoking play about language, class, identity, and social expectations. Professor Henry Higgins, an expert in phonetics, accepts a challenge to transform Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower seller, into a woman who can pass as a member of high society simply by changing her speech and manners. As Eliza gains confidence and independence, the experiment raises deeper questions about dignity, education, personal freedom, and the way society judges people by appearance and accent. Blending sharp humor with social criticism, Shaw creates a memorable drama that challenges traditional ideas about class, gender, and self-worth.
