Pygmalion

November 6, 1984 to November 10, 1984

By George Bernard Shaw

Directed by Vida Ayres

Generations of theatregoers have found relevance in Shaw's story about how a speech therapist, Henry Higgins., successfully transforms Liza Doolitle from "guttersnipe" to the darling of high society. The extraordinary wit of this master dramatist cuts away at the artificiality of class distinction to reveal that human clay can be moulded into wondrous shapes.
