Inspired by the Greek myth of Pygmalion, this play explores themes of transformation and social class through the character of Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert. First staged in 1913, it reflects Shaw's commentary on identity and language. The story, which has influenced numerous adaptations including the musical "My Fair Lady," showcases Higgins' attempts to elevate a flower girl to high society. Shaw's character draws from real-life phonetics scholars, particularly the eccentric Henry Sweet, highlighting the interplay between education and self-identity.
