"Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw is indeed a celebrated play that draws inspiration from the ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion, who falls in love with a statue he has carved and brings it to life. It tells the story of a professor who makes a bet that he can transform a working-class woman into a lady by teaching her how to speak and act like a member of the upper class. The play explores themes of social class, identity, and the power of language.

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw is famous for his role in revolutionising comedic drama. He was also a literary critic and a prominent British socialist. Shaw's most financially successful work, Pygmalion, was adapted into the popular Broadway musical My Fair Lady. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1913), and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
