Pygmalion and Social Commentary – Shaw’s Pygmalion critiques class inequality and the superficiality of social transformation through speech and manners. In Shaw's ingenious adaption, linguistic specialist Professor Henry Higgins bets that he can turn a clumsy cockney flower vendor into a sophisticated young woman by only improving her manners and altering her speech patterns. The Professor falls in love with his exquisite handiwork while persuading society that his invention is a mystery royal person.

Each version includes lines and passages missing from the others.
