Pygmalion

by Bernard Shaw
directed by Gerald Baker

Henry Higgins, a well off, rakish, Professor of Phonetics makes a bet that he can transform the manners and speech of Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle and pass her off in society. Bernard Shaw's ever-entertaining dramatic comedy, filled with his wit and style examines class, sexual politics and methods of education - and is of course the source of the very different musical, My Fair Lady.

Saturday 29th January to Saturday 5th February 2011
Evenings at 7.45p.m., except for the Sunday performance which is at 4p.m.
There is also a matinee at 3p.m. on the final Saturday. No performance on the Wednesday.
