«Pygmalion» is the play by Bernard Shaw, published by Longman in paperback (176 pages, in English).
The play follows Eliza Doolittle, a lower-class London flower girl, and phonetics professor Henry Higgins, who claims he can pass her off as a duchess just by changing the way she speaks. It does not count on Eliza's firm character or on the bond that ends up developing between them. A comedy about language, social class and identity.
The play was originally published in 1913. This edition belongs to the Pearson English Graded Readers series.
For students of English as a foreign language and for secondary school readers working on the play in class.
George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. 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 was awarded the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature.
