The First Night of Pygmalion is a metatheatrical play by Richard Huggett
Mainly based on letters, diaries and newspaper reports from the time, the piece is set during the first British production of George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, exploring the backstage tensions between Shaw, Mrs Patrick Campbell (who played Eliza Doolitle), and Herbert Beerbohm Tree (who played Professor Higgins).
It was first performed in 1968.
