‘Saint Joan’ , first staged in 1923, is a dramatization of the life of 15th-century French military icon and religious martyr Joan of Arc, based on the historical records of her trial in 1431. Saint Joan has become one of Shaw’s most popular plays; a film adaptation starring Jean Seberg was produced in 1957, and the play continues to be staged today.
‘Pygmalion’, a play by George Bernard Shaw was first presented on the stage in 1913. The play centers around a young cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, who jumps at an opportunity to improve her life and social standing through an experiment conducted by Henry Higgins, an eccentric professor of phonetics.
