Pygmalion

Written by George Bernard Shaw

With this adaptation set in 1929, the story centre’s on Eliza Doolittle, a lowly girl selling flowers on the street who dreams of a better life for herself. One night in Covent Garden, she crosses paths with Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering, who bet each other that Higgins could pass Eliza of as a duchess in six months. What follows is a mixture of comic social faux pas and tragic lessons as Eliza learns that she’s gotten more than she bargained for. Through these lessons however, Eliza becomes her own modern, independent woman.
