George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion follows Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetician who bets he can transform Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a refined lady in six months by teaching her proper speech. While successful, the experiment causes Eliza to struggle with her identity and independence, eventually leading her to leave Higgins.

"In our production (based on the play script), Henry Higgins is first seen outside St. Paul’s Church, Covent Garden, at night. In the rain and the dark, everyone is sheltering in the portico of the church, while Eliza Doolittle is on her own, still trying to sell her last bunch of Lavender. Higgins, hearing her voice, decides to teach her how to ‘speak proper’. He asks her to come to his Laboratory in Wimpole Street, so he can record her voice so she can hear how poor her speech is, and she can better herself by ‘Speaking Properly...’ "
