Pygmalion

The Worcester Repertory Company presents

Pygmalion
By George Bernard Shaw

“The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated.”

Thursday 15th October performance is a signed performance.

Eliza Doolittle is a poor flower girl who dreams of one day working in a flower shop. After a chance encounter with phonetic professor Henry Higgins, she becomes the subject of a wager: Can a cockney flower girl be transformed into a prim and proper lady, suitable for high society?

Taken into Henry’s home, Eliza must be resilient as she is taken through rigorous and often humiliating training. As she is launched into the world of the upper class, she must learn to navigate high society and questions where she really fits in. Stuck between her old world and a new one, Eliza must decide where to go from here…

George Bernard Shaw’s timeless comedy-drama takes a close look at gender stereotypes, social mobility and the British class system and is as relevant today as when it was written in 1912.
