Pygmalion

George Bernard Shaw's classic play about Eliza Doolittle and Professor Henry Higgins. Based on the Greek myth in which a sculptor falls in love with his creation, Pygmalion tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a lower class girl with a cockney accent. Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, takes on a bet that he can train Eliza to be a proper lady. This play served as the basis for the musical, My Fair Lady.
