When Higgins boasts he could pass anyone off as a lord or lady simply by teaching them to speak right, Pickering wagers that he cant' and offers to pay for the speech lessons of Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl. Eliza accepts the offer for speech lessons because she wants to lose her Cockney accent so she can get a job in a flower shop. A satire of the superficiality of distinctions between social classes. Pygmalion is one of Shaw's most famous comedies, the subject of numerous stage productions. Forever immortalized by the mulitple Academy award-winning motion picture My fair Lady, this play is sure to endure as a dramatic classic for years to come... "--P.
