This is a special edition of George Bernard Shaw's celebrated plays, Pygmalion and Arms and the Man. Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek mythological character. Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women's independence. Arms and the Man is a satirical comedy about people's idealism towards love and war.
