An updated and considerably revised version of the ancient Greek legend of Pygmalion and Galatea, the 20th-century story pokes fun at the antiquated British class system.In Shaw's clever adaptation, Professor Henry Higgins, a linguistic expert, takes on a bet that he can transform an awkward cockney flower seller into a refined young lady simply by polishing her manners and changing the way she speaks. In the process of convincing society that his creation is a mysterious royal figure, the Professor also falls in love with his elegant handiwork.The irresistible theme of the emerging butterfly, together with Shaw's brilliant dialogue and splendid skills as a playwright, have made Pygmalion one of the most popular comedies in the English language. A staple of college drama courses, it is still widely performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAuthor: George Bernard Shaw. | Publisher: Dover Publications | Pages: 96 | Publication Date: 1994-10-20 | Edition: First Edition | Binding: Paperback | MSRP: 3 | ISBN13: 9780486282220 | ISBN: 0486282228 | Other ISBN: 9780486113784 | Other ISBN Binding: fpid13alias | Language: en | Store Location: Classics | \"Book cover image may be different than what appears on the actual book.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67816043643168,"sku":"NEW0486282228","price":7.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81DZff3C_xL.jpg?v=1792177412","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/pygmalion-dover-thrift-editions-plays-0486282228","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
