Description
Henry Higgins makes a wager with Colonel Pickering that he can teach a flower seller to speak like a duchess. However, as Eliza Doolittle begins to learn and grow, she starts to rebel against her creator, revealing a mind of her own. This version of Pygmalion presents the definitive 1941 text, with footnotes indicating the textual variants from the first volume edition of 1916. The play questions the class system, social appearances, and the role of women in society, themes that remain relevant today. The original work has spawned numerous adaptations, including the famous Broadway musical My Fair Lady, demonstrating its enduring ability to find new life in modern times.
