A new BBC Radio 4 production of George Bernard Shaw's classic tale about Eliza Doolittle, the Cockney flower girl who is trained by Henry Higgins to pass as a duchess.
Bernard Shaw (Author)
Bernard Shaw was one of the greatest 20th Century
dramatists. He wrote over 60 plays, including Arms and the Man
(1894), Man and Superman (1903), Pygmalion (1912-13) and Saint Joan
(1923). In addition, he also authored five novels and two
collections of short stories. He is the only person to have been
honoured with both a Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an
Academy Award (1938, for Pygmalion). Shaw was offered a knighthood,
but turned it down, as he refused most awards. He died in 1950,
aged 94.
