Sì, hai schiacciato una foglia di cavolo. Sei l'insulto incarnato alla lingua inglese: potrei farti passare per la Regina di Saba. Pigmalione ha deliziato e scandalizzato il suo primo pubblico nel 1914. Una rielaborazione brillantemente arguta del racconto classico dello scultore che si innamora della sua statua femminile perfetta, è anche un attacco pungente al sistema di classe britannico e una dichiarazione delle opinioni femministe di Shaw. Nelle mani di Shaw, il fonetista Henry Higgins è la figura di Pigmalione che crede di poter trasformare Eliza Doolittle, una fioraia cockney, in una duchessa a suo agio nella buona società. L'unica cosa che trascura è che la sua 'creazione' ha una mente tutta sua. Con un'introduzione di NICHOLAS GRENE.
