"Pygmalion" is a play written by George Bernard Shaw and first presented in 1913.

The story revolves around a phonetics professor, Henry Higgins, who makes a bet
that he can train a poor, unrefined girl, Eliza Doolittle, to pass for a duchess by
teaching her to speak with a more refined accent and manners. The play delves into
the themes of social class, identity, and the nature of language. It is a sharp critique
of the British class system and the importance placed on accent and appearance. The
play has been adapted into various films, musicals, and other forms of literature, and
its influence on popular culture has been significant. The title "Pygmalion" is a
reference to the myth of the sculptor Pygmalion, who fell in love with his own
creation. The play's enduring relevance and impact make it a classic of modern
literature.
