George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, the inspiration for My Fair Lady, is a witty and heart-filled comedy that explores identity, transformation, and the clash between intellect and emotion. When a renowned phonetics professor bets he can turn a rough-around-the-edges Cockney flower seller into a refined duchess through education, the experiment quickly evolves beyond language. As the lessons unfold, the student challenges the teacher, forcing him to confront his own emotional limitations. Both a sharp critique of Britain’s rigid class system and a powerful reflection on women’s independence, Pygmalion remains a timeless reminder to live fully—with both mind and heart engaged.
