Pygmalion
Peter Hall will bring his acclaimed production of Bernard Shaw’s enduring classic Pygmalion to The Old Vic in May 2008.
Tim Pigott-Smith returns to The Old Vic stage for the first time since his memorable performance in ‘The Iceman Cometh’ in 1998 and London audiences will also have the opportunity to discover a remarkable new talent in Michelle Dockery as Eliza Doolittle. Tony Haygarth, Pamela Miles and Una Stubbs will also reprise their roles.
Henry Higgins (Tim Pigott-Smith) is the arrogant Professor of Phonetics who makes a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can turn Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle (Michelle Dockery), into a duchess.
Pygmalion formed the basis of the much-loved musical My Fair Lady and has been filmed as both a play and a musical. Leslie Howard, Rex Harrison, Richard Chamberlain and Jonathan Pryce have all played the Professor, whilst Wendy Hiller, Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn are amongst those who have been convincingly transformed.
