Pygmalion

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Britain, this play critiques the class system while exploring themes of transformation and identity. Professor Henry Higgins makes a bet to elevate a flower seller's social standing through speech and manners, leading to unexpected romantic entanglements. The humorous retelling of the Pygmalion myth showcases Shaw's sharp wit and feminist ideals, making it a timeless comedy that remains popular in theater programs today. Its adaptation into the musical "My Fair Lady" further solidified its cultural impact.
