IrelandDescription:
La obra de teatro Pigmalión fue publicada en 1916 por George Bernard Shaw y está basada en el relato de Ovidio, Pigmalión. Shaw escribió esta obra en una época en que la fonética era un tema en auge; decía que el español y el alemán eran idiomas clarísimos que los extranjeros de dichas lenguas podían comprender, pero que el inglés era tan mal hablado por ellos que ni ellos mismos se entendían. La obra resulta didáctica, pero sin ser aburrida.
