Pygmalion is a play by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, named after the Greek mythological figure. It premiered at the Hofburg Theatre in Vienna on 16 October 1913 and was first presented on stage in German. Its English-language premiere took place at His Majesty's Theatre in London's West End in April 1914 and starred Herbert Beerbohm Tree as phonetics professor Henry Higgins and Mrs Patrick Campbell as Cockney flower-girl Eliza Doolittle.
Shaw's play has been adapted many times, most notably as the 1938 film Pygmalion, the 1956 stage musical My Fair Lady, and its 1964 film version.

Reviews
From BNT newsletter June 1966
Pygmalion is progressing well. Stage sets have begun, and costumes are well under way. We have heard that much interest is being shown by the secondary schools for advance bookings for this production. It is a set play for the Leaving Examination. It will also be
the theatres entry for South Street – 3 Act section.
From BNT newsletter September 1966
Our sincere congratulations to Alan Wakeling on this most successful major production. Full house every night. Performances by members of the cast of an equally high standard night after night. Now, we wish this group the very best of luck for their performance on the 16th(i.e. Friday night) at South Street.
