It's interesting to read this play, which was adapted into the musical, My Fair Lady. Shaw's dialogue is, as always, crisp and witty.

Love this story. It is the foundation for the movie, "My Fair Lady"
Shaw used Pygmalion from Roman mythology as the basis for his play. It is the story of Professor Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, who wagers that he can turn a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into the toast of London society merely by teaching her how to speak with an upper-class accent. In the process, he becomes fond of her and attempts to direct her future, but she rejects his domineering ways and marries a young aristocrat.
