Alistair McGowan, Rula Lenska

A major revival of one of the best-loved plays of the 20th Century.

Alistair McGowan leads an established company of actors in a centenary year production of Shaw's enduring masterpiece directed by Tony award-winning David Grindley.

Pygmalion is one of theatre's most entertaining and beguiling explorations of gender and class and is perhaps best known as the inspiration for the musical My Fair Lady.

The aristocratic and pompous Professor Henry Higgins (made famous by Rex Harrison) makes a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can transform the manners and speech of Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle and pass her off as a society lady.

Packed with a host of larger than life characters including Alfred Doolittle and lovelorn Freddy Eynsford-Hill, Pygmalion remains one of Shaw's most
popular plays and a classic British drama; full of his trademark wit, style and humour.
