Pygmalion
Rathfarnham Theatre Group are delighted to bring Pygmalion to the dlr Mill Theatre Stage.
When Professor Henry Higgins rises to the challenge of transforming a Cockney flower seller into a lady refined enough to be mistaken for a duchess, he begins to realise that she has a mind of her own and cannot be manipulated as he sees fit. George Bernard Shaw’s humorous and incisive commentary on language and appearance raises complex questions about societal and personal identity, how they define us and how they shape our relationship with the society around us.
Pygmalion is a gloriously witty play, which served as the inspiration for the famous musical “My Fair Lady” and has become a timeless classic which continues to resonate with audiences over a century after it was first performed.
