Pygmalion at Spotlighters Theatre

PYGMALION by George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Sherrionne Brown, with Phil Gallagher
Stage managed by Lady Tatum
Feb 15 - Mar 10, 2019 Fri & Sat at 8pm; Sun at 2pm

The sparkling wit and biting humor of Shaw's script has made Pygmalion into a classic which has endured for over a century, still speaking to us about the false constructs of social class and wowing us with a portrayal of a strong woman who overcomes the conventions of her time.

Eliza Doolittle, an intelligent, but poor woman who sells flowers . . . crosses paths with Henry Higgins, a boorish, insensitive, but brilliant linguist who studies phonetics.He realizes we are all equal under the skin and that social class is a matter of skilled behavior. What starts as a phonetic experiment becomes a social experiment.

As these two headstrong people spar, we follow Eliza through to her emotional and financial independence, as Eliza herself realizes she was already a lady.
