A timeless classic by George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion is a romantic comedy in five acts influenced by the Greek myth of the same title. The Greek myth, about the creator of a sculpture that comes to life, influenced many writers in the Victorian era.

A precursor to Pretty Woman, Pygmalion begins with phonetics professor Henry Higgins betting that he can train a working girl to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party. Filled with British wit, the themes touch on women's independence, social class and etiquette.
