Pygmalion

In Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion", Professor Higgins transforms the flower girl Eliza into a lady, but instead of a grateful and submissive Galatea, he is confronted nose to nose with an angry and self-assured girl who has lost her place... in life. In "Mrs. Warren's Profession", Vivi, proud of her independence, is forced to recognize that her freedom is paid for by her mother's "undignified" choices and to see her own reflection in the hypocrisy of those around her. Like all the best comedies in the history of literature, Bernard Shaw's plays are mirrors in which everyone sees themselves. They are known for their causticity and wit, behind which the uncomfortable truth does not even try to hide - here it is, right in front of you, and it is you who hides from it, squinting your eyes from laughter. Are you ready to open them wider? The texts of the comedies are published in English without adaptation or abridgment.
