Although he wrote music as well, he most enjoyed writing plays, with the purpose of explaining a social message, and making it more memorable with the use of comedy while doing so. Some of his plays direct peoples attention to the problem of education, religion and government, however one topic he often considered was the exploitation (剥削) of the working class. As a socialist, he played a role in the Fabian Society, which was a British socialist movement, writing brochures and leaflets for them. He even married a fellow member of the Society, called Charlotte Payne-Townshend. He was a wonderful speaker, and gave speeches on equal rights in politics for men and women, how to live healthy lifestyles, and condemning the attitudes of the rich towards the poor. This socialist attitude of Bernard Shaw influenced many of his writings, including Pygmalion,which has become a classic. The play was first shown in 1913 in Vienna, with Shaw himself as the director. Shaw chose Mrs. Patricia Campbell to play the role of Eliza, although many thought that she was too old for the role at the age of 49. Shaw claimed that he had written the role with her in mind, and only she would play Eliza. Higgins was played by Sir Herbert Tree. It has now become more popular, due to the 1964 musical MyFairLady,which is based on Pygmalion. 语篇解读：本文为记叙文。文章介绍了萧伯纳的人生观点以及《皮格马利翁》这部戏剧 的创作情况。 1．George Bernard Shaw wrote plays to ________.
