Pygmalion and My Fair Lady (50th Anniversary Edition) Mass market paperbound - 2006

by George Bernard Shaw; Alan Jay Lerner; Introduction by Richard Goldstone

Based upon the Greek myth of the sculptor Pygmalion who fell in love with his own statue of a woman, George Bernard Shaw's celebrated play-and the musical adaptation by Alan Jay Lerner-feature phonetics professor Henry Higgins who transformed cockney flower girl Eliza into a lady.


Summary

The ancient Greeks tell the legend of the sculptor Pygmalion, who created a statue of a woman of such surpassing beauty that he fell in love with his own creation. Then, Aphrodite, taking pity on this man whose love could not reach beyond the barrier of stone, brought the statue to life and gave her to Pygmalion as his bride.

Centuries later, George Bernard Shaw captured the magic of this legend in his celebrated romantic play, Pygmalion. Pygmalion became Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, his statue an untutored flower girl from the streets of London, and the barrier between them the difference in their stations in life.

In My Fair Lady, Alan Jay Lerner takes the legend one step further—the barrier is swept away and Higgins and Eliza are reunited as the curtain falls on one of the loveliest musical plays of our time—winning seven Tonys® for its original Broadway production, and seven Oscars® for its film adaptation.

First line

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was born in Ireland and moved to England while he was still in his teens.
