2010/11 SEASON

Pygmalion

By GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
Directed By ELEANOR HOLDRIDGE
May 18 - June 19, 2011

The original makeover story from which a thousand imitators were born, George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion first appeared in 1912 and has provided hilarious entertainment ever since. It's a comedy that's all about class and human relationships. This is the tale of how dapper Henry Higgins tries to elevate Eliza Doolittle from the poverty stricken cockney streets to the upper class society of London. In My Fair Lady, Audrey Hepburn made the character of Eliza Doolittle an instant and beloved classic. Here is the chance to see Pygmalion, George Bernard Shaw's original play that formed the basis for the beloved musical.

"The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. They spell it so abominably that no man can teach himself what it sounds like"
-Bernard Shaw
