"What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn't come every day."

One of George Bernard Shaw's most famous works, written in 1912, Pygmalion references the mythological Greek sculptor, who falls in love with his creation- a statue of the perfect woman. In Shaw's play, phonetics professor, Henry Higgins, engages in a social experiment to transform Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, into a refined young lady, through the most important element, of which he believes, is impeccable speech. Shaw wittily exposes the British social hierarchy of the times, incorporating themes of feminism, human behavior and relations between the sexes.
