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