      The story of Pygmalion from ancient Cyprus who created a statue so beautiful that he fell in love with it, is one of the most enduring romantic tales of all time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In Bernard Shaw\u2019s witty version Pygmalion becomes the arrogant Henry Higgins whose transformation of the cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a society lady does not quite work out as simply as he comes to hope when his creation exerts her independence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Over 100 years since its London production Shaw\u2019s play has been rarely absent from the stage; it has been filmed twice and, of course, has provided the story of the wonderful musical version, My Fair Lady.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
