OUR PLAY

Are our destinies to be defined by the way we are perceived, by middle class morality, or by our own sparks of divine fire? In honor of George Bernard Shaw’s 160th birthday, we present to you his immortal tale Pygmalion: a story of a phonetics professor who tutors a lower-class girl to speak proper English in order to pass for a “lady.” Shaw called Pygmalion a “romance.” Critics have called it “genius.” We call it the delicious, dialectic, diabolically smart first production of our 42nd season.
