Pygmalion

When a cockney flower girl crosses paths with a brilliant, eccentric professor, the streets of London become the stage for a sparkling romantic comedy play that has captivated audiences for generations. Pygmalion: A Romance in Five Acts is George Bernard Shaw's masterful blend of wit, social class satire, and exploration of transformation and identity. Set in the heart of the Victorian era, this classic British literature gem dances between romance and humour, unmasking the rigid boundaries of society with sharp dialogue and unforgettable characters.

Shaw's celebrated drama is more than a tale of personal reinvention; it is a pointed critique of class and convention, beloved by theatre enthusiasts, literature students, and fans of Oscar Wilde alike. The play's early 20th-century London setting provides a vibrant backdrop for its timeless themes, making it both an entertaining read and a rich subject for discussion. Whether you are new to Shaw or building a George Bernard Shaw collection, Pygmalion remains essential reading-a work that continues to inspire and provoke.
