The Pasadena Playhouse Presents PYGMALLION 3/17-4/12
By: BWW News Desk Feb. 11, 2015
PYGMALION remains George Bernard Shaw's most popular play, which is most widely known for being the inspiration behind the highly romanticized Broadway musical and film My Fair Lady.
In this fresh interpretation of PYGMALION, first presented on stage in 1912, phonetics professor Henry Higgins bets that after he finishes transforming Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, her flawless speech and delicate facade will allow her to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party. This classic favorite perfectly skewers the rigid British class system and continues to serve as an insightful commentary on women's independence.Tickets are available online at PasadenaPlayhouse.org or by calling 626-356-7529.
