Le professeur Higgins et le colonel Pickering prennent pour cobaye une jeune vendeuse de fleurs qu'ils tentent de transformer en une vraie dame de la bonne société. Ils lui apprennent comment prononcer un mot, un phrase, correctement et enrichissent son vocabulaire, croyant que l'appartenance à la classe supérieure est une question de prononciation. Eliza fait des progrès surprenants et évolue de mieux en mieux dans le milieu de la grande bourgeoisie. Mais elle reste consciente de ses origines et s'émancipe de son « maître ». Une expérimentation sociétale dans l'air du temps, où Bernard Shaw détourne le mythe antique avec humour.

Shaw défendait avec virulence un théâtre engagé et livra avec ses plus de cinquante pièces une cinglante critique de la morale dominante. Son arme fut la comédie, sa poudre son esprit. Dans l'art de descendre les puissants par l'ironie de leur piédestal il était un maître.

Excerpts

As will be seen later on, Pygmalion needs, not a preface, but a sequel, which I have supplied in its due place.
