His wish is granted and the couple live happily ever after. He propitiates Aphrodite, who grants his wish that his statue would come to life and that he could marry her.
In the ancient story, a brilliant sculptor, Pygmalion falls in love with one of his own creations, a ravishingly beautiful sculpture whom he names Galatea. Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw is equally engrossing and as full of charm, wit and underlying pathos.įirst performed on stage in 1912, Pygmalion takes its title from the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. If you've watched and loved the delightful musical My Fair Lady, then you'd love to read the wonderful play on which it is based.
