Description
Pygmalion, written by George Bernard Shaw, is a play that explores the complexities of language and social class in Victorian England.
The English have a unique relationship with their own language, which can be both a source of pride and frustration. This tension is at the heart of Shaw's work, as he examines the ways in which language shapes our perceptions of ourselves and others.
First performed in 1913, Pygmalion has become a significant work in the English literary canon, offering insights into the social and cultural norms of its time.
