“Pygmalion,” written by George Bernard Shaw and first premiered in 1913, is a classic play that explores themes of class, identity, and social mobility. The story revolves around Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert, who takes on the challenge of transforming Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, into a refined and articulate lady. The play delves into the complexities of language and societal expectations, raising questions about the malleability of identity and the impact of linguistic and social skills on one’s position in society. “Pygmalion” remains celebrated for its wit, sharp social commentary, and the enduring appeal of its characters, particularly the indomitable Eliza, who challenges preconceived notions of class and gender.

Shaw’s “Pygmalion” has stood the test of time due to its thought-provoking exploration of societal norms and the transformative power of education and self-improvement. The play has been adapted into various forms, most notably as the basis for the musical “My Fair Lady.” Shaw’s work challenges the notion of fixed social hierarchies and underscores the potential for individuals to shape their destinies through education and personal growth. “Pygmalion” continues to be a relevant and engaging work, prompting audiences to reflect on issues of class, identity, and the ways in which language and social skills can influence one’s place in society.
