Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw
Shaw's play emerged in 1912 and was packaged as a romantic comedy. It is much more a sharp lampoon on the rigid class structure of English society. Come and meet the first Eliza Doolittle and her mentor Professor Higgins, long before 'My Fair Lady' was ever thought of!
