Features: There are countless strange things about betting in the world. Do you know a story of a bet written by the great writer George Bernard Shaw? A noble phonetician accidentally meets a flower girl. He makes a bet with his good friend that he can elevate this girl from a humble background, who speaks with a thick rural accent, to high society within three months. So he truly begins this almost mad experiment—desperately training the girl, changing her pronunciation, speech patterns, behavior, and even her gaze and smile to meet the standards of the upper class. By completely repackage her from head to toe, he remembers her at a banquet attended by wealthy women, beautiful, elegant, and radiant. Did he win the bet? What was the outcome of the experiment? What happened to the girl's fate? George Bernard Shaw's world-renowned play will bring many "unexpected" surprises to the audience.
