“You see this creature with her kerbstone English… Well, sir, in three months I could pass that girl off as a duchess at an ambassador’s garden party”
With these words, the arrogant and insensitive Professor Henry Higgins, expert in phonetics, strikes a wager with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can transform the speech and manners of the Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle.
Higgins single-mindedly pursues his aim, but what will be the true cost of victory?
