George Bernard Shaw began his writing career as a critic. First, he reviewed music. Then, he branched out and became a theater critic. He must have been disappointed with his contemporary playwrights because he began writing his own dramatic works in the late 1800s. Many consider Shaw's body of work to be second only to Shakespeare. Shaw possesses a deep love of language, high comedy, and social consciousness.
#5 - "Pygmalion"Thanks to its musical adaptation (My Fair Lady), George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion has become the playwright's most famous comedy. It illustrates the comical clash between two different worlds.The pompous, upper-class Henry Higgins attempts to transform the gruff, Cockney Eliza Doolittle into a refined lady. As Eliza begins to change, Henry realizes that he has become rather attached to his "pet project." Shaw insisted that Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle do not end up as a couple. However, most directors suggest that Pygmalion ends with the two mismatched individuals ultimately smitten with one another.
