Pygmalion
Shaw will not allow complacency; he hates second-hand opinions; he attacks fashion; he continually challenges and unsettles, questioning and provoking us even when he is making us laugh.

Über den Autor
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish dramatist and political activist who is widely regarded as the second most influential English language playwright, following Shakespeare. In 1876, Shaw moved to London where he embarked on a career as a writer and critic. It was not until Arms and the Man (1894) was written that Shaw became widely recognized as a serious playwright. His stark realism and strong political, economic, and moral views within much of his sixty-two plays transformed the direction of modern dramatic arts. Shaw was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925.
