odd pygmalion knights of babylon 1990.jpg   Pygmalion
Knights Of Babylon 1990
Eliza Doolittle depicted. The book by Dublin born GB Shaw (26/7/1856 - 2/11/1950).
Nobel Prize-winning playwright, essayist and critic known for his witty, intelligent dramas of ideas. He was a founder of the Fabian Society (1883), a group of writers committed to promoting socialism. His plays include Candida (1896) and Pygmalion (1913).
Based on classical myth, Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion plays on the complex business of human relationships in a social world. Phonetics Professor Henry Higgins tutors the very Cockney Eliza Doolittle, not only in the refinement of speech, but also in the refinement of her manner. When the end result produces a very ladylike Miss Doolittle, the lessons learned become much more far reaching. The successful musical My Fair Lady was based on this Bernard Shaw classic.
