The Old Globe celebrates the 100th anniversary of Pygmalion with a lavish new production of George Bernard Shaw's masterwork. When speech professor Henry Higgins makes a bet with a fellow scholar that he can pass off a common Cockney flower girl as the pinnacle of English society, he proves to be an expert in phonetics but a novice with people. Directed by Nicholas Martin (Broadway's Butley with Nathan Lane and Present Laughter with Victor Garber), Pygmalion is a charming classic full of wit and humor.

  George Bernard Shaw (Playwright) is the second-most produced playwright in Globe history, following only William Shakespeare.  Shaw was born in Dublin on July 26, 1856 and immigrated to London in 1878.  His first significant attempt at literature was as a novelist; he produced five novels between 1879 and 1888.  Eventually he turned to criticism: first art and music (enough to fill volumes) and later theater.  Shaw’s theater criticism was particularly significant for pointing the way to a theater he himself would soon create: a theater of paradox and wit, one that sought engagement with the world and contemporary issues rather than escape from them.  As a playwright, Shaw turned out an impressive body of work including more than 50 plays.  Some of his better known plays include Man and Superman (1903), Major Barbara (1905), Pygmalion (1912) – which would later be turned into the musical My Fair Lady – and Saint Joan (1923).  By the time of his death in 1950, Shaw had received world fame unprecedented for a literary figure and was hailed by worshipers as one of the greatest playwrights in the English language, second only to William Shakespeare.
