For those who are completely unaware of what now will be discussed, explain that you will attempt to briefly tell the story not from the ancient myth of the sculptor   Pygmalion, who fell in love with he created the beautiful statue Galatea and begged  of the gods to revive her, and the play of the great English playwright George Bernard Shaw.

Let's Start. step one

Full title of the play reads: “Pygmalion: a novel-a fantasy in five acts”.quick content. to Read pieces from the sheet by forces not for everyone, and inveterate theatre-goers is not so much left. The world is ruled by Internet and television. Of course, the works Show not once was filmed, and count the number of productions – the case is altogether hopeless. But watching a movie takes hours, reading the text of the play is also not a quick job, and for those who want and time to save, to obtain education, invented rhetorical questions.

“she” in the further text we for brevity, so we call this play - starts the rain. Yes, a typical summer downpour, which fell under almost all existing characters work. They stand under the portico of St. Paul's Cathedral waiting for a taxi. Mobile phones had not been invented, the services of the taxi was not working on such a scale as today, and in order that all could get home more or less dry, one had to sacrifice himself. Who is this lone hero? Naturally, the youngest and most trouble-free Freddie. But even completely soaked in the process of searching, he finds a taxi, for which he received a reprimand from the mother and from the sisters in full. Hurrying to take refuge under the portico, Freddy touches a poorly dressed girl with a basket of flowers. That the loser does not remain, and with characteristic frankness commoners expresses everything he thinks about a clumsy young people in General and Freddy in particular. Hearing such an interesting and somewhat poetic epithets, standing just to the side of the master hastily begins writing something down in a notebook (laptop used to be called normal notebook notebooks).

The Girl is taking a logical marketing move, and starts to advertise your goods. In particular, begging the Colonel standing next to buy some violets and thereby support Commerce. The Colonel pulls out fines and bribes from nimble traders, but the bunch of violets never takes. Then someone says enthusiastically stenographische master and suggested that he writes a denunciation to KGB (UK, of course, no KGB, and Scotland Yard). Rises the universal outrage against police brutality. Not to be lynched on the spot, the gentleman with the notebook very cleverly guesses the birthplace of some of the accusers. He is quite getting away with it, but people require immediate exposure of a session of black magic.

Everything is very innocent, and instead of a secret service agent, the audience now sees a harmless scientist-linguist. Poor Freddie's not allowed to watch until the end of the presentation and again pushed in the rain, with orders without taxi not to return. While Freddie is wandering around London in search of a car, the rain suddenly ends, and his cousin decide they can do without a taxi. People slowly dissipates, and as a result remain only three main characters: Flower girl Eliza Doolittle, linguist and magician Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering. The latter two find out that they have long dreamed of meeting, but it didn't worked, and if not for the blessed rain, they would have chased each other around India, then in England. By making Elise a reprimand because she was a bad student in school, did not know how to speak like an educated white colonists, and noting that she could use to take courses in a noble manner, they exchange their names and addresses, sacrifice saleswoman violets a bunch of stuff and deleted away.

The first act was too slow, and looks anything but short on content. "Pygmalion" consists of five acts. And pace until the final play we'll get there soon. Moreover, it is unclear at what here the ancient sculptor. Let's hope that it turns out on and will continue to outline our summary.

"Pygmalion" of act II

It Begins in the apartment of Professor Higgins. Our linguist brags to his Colonel with recording equipment, the latter expresses excessive admiration for the quality and purity of sound. Their conversation interrupted the visit… who do you think? You'll never guess-Eliza Doolittle himself! She came to hire Higgins as a tutor for the calligraphy and the formulation of appropriate language. The address she remembered yesterday, well paved two friends of her money, as she believes, will be enough to buy Buckingham Palace and to the load on the surrender of the tower.quick content.

But the Professor flatly claims that tutoring is not engaged. However, learning about yourself and the Colonel from Eliza lot of new and interesting, all of a sudden decides to make her not somebody, and the real Duchess. And even refuses to take a fee for it. However, it is not so disinterested, and concludes with Colonel wager a large sum that it gets difficult just a few months. No, it is not a forgery. In the play "Pygmalion", a summary of which you are now reading, actually there is no criminality. It's not a detective and not a Thriller. The essence of wager is that at the end of training Eliza lead to a reception at the Embassy are not a flower girl and a Duchess waiting will reveal whether their deception. While the housekeeper the Professor puts miss Doolittle cruel hygienic procedures to the apartment to Higgins is the girl's father. Them is battered by life, but having a philosophical bent of mind and problems in family life scavenger hunt. He feared for the safety of innocence the only and beloved daughter, but five pounds agrees to strangle his fatherly feelings.

Pygmalion" Show: a brief summary of the subsequent third and fourth acts

The Professor mercilessly driving the poor girl on the grammar and syntax of the English language, simultaneously teaching her to stay with Grand manner.

After a while, finding Eliza is already enough “savvy”, Higgins decides to give her a mini-exam and bring the party to his own mother. There, by a strange coincidence, it turns out that the mum poor Freddie. Naturally, the young man begins to have Eliza tokens, which is like his own mother, and to the Professor. A mother Professor the girl suddenly like.

The wager comes to an end, and Eliza is brilliantly plays the role of the Duchess at the reception. Tired of the hassle debaters glad that's all over, congratulate each other on a job well done and goes to their rooms. Them and not think to thank ELISA, because for them it is not a man but a tool. Eliza, having spent the reception a lot of effort and a lot of nerve cells, deeply offended by such a dismissive attitude towards it, launches into a sanctimonious Professor a pair of shoes.

Fifth – final action

The Girl runs away from these two "chumps in suits". The next morning, finding his familiar toys at the threshold of the bedroom with Slippers in his mouth, Pickering and Higgins are fleeing mother to complain of the latter, indignant at the ungrateful girl. And what their surprise when instead of the expected sympathy, they will receive a sharp rebuke. It turns out that Eliza in the night it was to Mrs. Higgins midnight and poured out her resentment on the gentlemen.

The Play rapidly moves to the final, there also tends and our summary. "Pygmalion" ends not with the wedding bells as you could hope for. Not at all. And Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering are not romantic heroes, they are not passionately in love with a young saleswoman violets. They just got used to it and not want to be separated from Eliza. All that they Express and the Eliza, and mother of Professor. The play ends, leaving the reader in a mild surprise about how will the fate of the characters. The curtain.
