Abstract
One of Shaw's finest plays, Pygmalion won acclaim in Gabriel Pascal's 1938 motion picture adaptation and achieved further notice in 1956, adapted into the musical My Fair Lady also later a successful film. In this seminal comedy of class distinctions, a fussy British phonetics professor, Henry Higgins wagers that he can transform guttersnipe cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle into a lady of breeding, voice and manners in London's Ascot society, with surprising results. Videotaped at Anna Maria Ciccone Theatre, Bergen Community College, Paramus, NJ. April 12th, 2013.
