Who Played Mrs. Pearce in Pygmalion

Mrs. Pearce is a role in Pygmalion, a play that opened Broadway in 2007.

<br>George Bernard Shaw's famous play, <b>Pygmalion</b>, inspired the legendary and award winning musical <em>My Fair Lady</em>, written and composed by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. Based on the classical myth, <b>Pygmalion</b> plays on the complex business of human relationships in a social world. When Professor Henry Higgins (Mays) comes across a poor and uneducated Cockney girl named Eliza Doolittle (Danes), Higgins makes a bet that he can take Eliza from the gutters of London and pass her off as a society lady, by simply teaching her the right dialect in which to speak. Higgins soon discovers that this task involves much more than knowledge; it involves patience and most importantly, affairs of the heart.
