Pygmalion

Pygmalion, a five-act romance by George Bernard Shaw, produced in German in 1913 in Vienna. It was performed in England in 1914, with Mrs. Patrick Campbell as Eliza Doolittle. The play is a human comedy about love and the English class system. Henry Higgins, phonetic, takes the bet that simply by changing the speech of a Cockney flower seller, you can, in six months, pass her off as a duchess. Eliza undergoes grueling training. When she successfully "passes" into high society, having in the process become a beautiful young woman of sensitivity and taste, Higgins abruptly dismisses her as a successfully completed experiment. Eliza, who now belongs neither to the upper class, whose gestures and speech she has learned, nor to the lower class, from which she comes, rejects her dehumanizing attitude. The play became famous as a film in 1938 and later as the stage musical My Fair Lady (1956), with a musical score by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. A 1964 film version of the musical featured Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn.
