Shaw, George Bernard (1856-1950) - Irish playwright. After a false start as
a novelist, Shaw gained a reputation as a critic. He began writing dramas in
1885 and by the turn of the century he established himself as a force in the
theater. He is as well-known for his eccentricities as he is for his plays.
Pygmalion (1913) - One of Shaw's most famous plays. Professor Henry Higgins,
the Pygmalion, transforms a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a
lady. This play was later made into the musical comedy, "My Fair Lady."
