My Fair Lady was Pygmalion the play?

What to know before reading Shaw's Pygmalion ["My Fair Lady"]

(Oxford Comma) Let's take a look at the play: George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, analyze some themes and background to help first readings of the text to make such reading productive and enjoyable.

• 
  Pygmalion (play)
• Pygmalion (1938 film)
• My Fair Lady (Pygmalion franchise)

These include the mythological background of the characters, the use of humor, critique of class structure, examination of beauty, classification of language, and personal transformation.

While this is only an intro, it should be a full series on this play once other projects wrap up. An affordable copy of the play is available from Dover Thrift, which has an excellent edition available for just a few bucks.
