PYGMALION. George Bernard Shaw’s most famous and beloved play is the basis for the musical My Fair Lady. It’s a rollicking comedy that reminds us of the importance of being as fully connected to both our head and heart as we can, and to live our life as fully as possible. A celebrated professor of phonetics makes a wager that he can pass a bedraggled Cockney flower girl off as a duchess at an ambassador’s garden party by giving her the tools of education. But, before the lessons are over, she has become his teacher, as well: helping him learn to face his emotional self as an aware human. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women’s independence.

Great News!  We’re celebrating!

To celebrate 20 years of bringing wildly entertaining activist theatre to NYC, we are proud to announce a landmark production: George Bernard Shaw’s PYGMALION. This is the much-loved, often copied, never equaled romantic comedy that inspired the ground-breaking My Fair Lady.

Not since Shakespeare’s Beatrice and Benedick had the world seen two such brilliantly created characters that became the modern English drama template for battling equals. Eliza and Higgins cunningly represent the flip sides of, not only Shaw’s personal self-creation, but a reflection of the journey we all must take to fully live our lives as best we can. Set in pre–WWI  London, Pygmalion dishes up high-energy confrontations about identity, power, and transformation – themes that resonate more than ever today.
