Pygmalion is a five-act romantic comedy by George Bernard Shaw, first written in 1912 and premiered in 1913 in Vienna (German translation). Set in London, it tells of Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert who bets he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, into a refined lady by teaching her proper speech. Through witty dialogue and social satire, the play explores themes of class, identity, gender roles, and the transformative power of language.
