Kurztext / Annotation
Phantasie, Witz, Überraschung, Provokation und ernsthafte Argumentation zeichnen Shaws Stücke aus. Pygmalion wurde 1912 geschrieben, war bereits in seiner Erstaufführung ein immenser Erfolg, und als Musical My Fair Lady ist es auch heute noch sehr beliebt.

Beschreibung

'Yes, you squashed cabbage leaf . . . you incarnate insult to the English language: I could pass you off as the Queen of Sheba'

Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of the sculptor who falls in love with his perfect female statue, it is also a barbed attack on the British class system and a statement of Shaw's feminist views. In Shaw's hands, the phoneticist Henry Higgins is the Pygmalion figure who believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a duchess at ease in polite society. The one thing he overlooks is that his 'creation' has a mind of her own.
