Beschreibung

A chance meeting between Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, and Cockney flower seller Eliza Doolittle leads to a bet that he can teach her how to speak proper English. While Higgins undertakes an effort to train Liza out of her Cockney accent to prove that it is one's manner of speaking that determines one's opportunities, Liza's refreshing candor and generosity of spirit effect a change in Higgins. Beguiling, relatable, and engaging, Pygmalion is an uproariously funny and ultimately touching tale of mutual transformation. All the while, beneath its irresistible charm, it offers a scathing critique of class, entitlement, and social prejudice.
Ever since its wildly popular first production in 1913, Pygmalion has amused and entertained audiences the world over and has become one of the most adapted plays of all time. In 1938 Shaw provided the screenplay for a filmed version of Pygmalion for which he received an Academy Award. In 1956 Pygmalion was adapted into a musical entitled My Fair Lady starring Rex Harrison as Higgins and Julie Andrews as Eliza. The 1964 filmed version starred Audrey Hepburn as Eliza and Rex Harrison as Higgins.
This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline.

Über den Autor

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright, critic, essayist, and one of the most important dramatists of the modern era. A central figure in twentieth-century theatre, Shaw combined intellectual debate, sharp social criticism, political commentary, and brilliant comedy into plays that transformed modern [...] his best-known works are Pygmalion, Man and Superman, Saint Joan, Major Barbara, and Arms and the Man. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925, Shaw used theatre as a platform for exploring issues of class, education, politics, religion, language, and social reform. His works remain widely studied and performed for their wit, intelligence, and enduring relevance.
