Pygmalion

I am delighted once again to have the chance of directing Bernard Shaw's impressive play PYGMALION. Each time I return to the text I discover new themes to explore in the production, and with each new cast, new ideas and staging possibilities come to light. Written in 1912, the play was first performed in Vienna before being presented on the London stage on the 11^th of April 1914. It caused a sensation then, not least for the unspeakable utterances of Eliza Doolittle, and has remained a classic ever since.
Revisiting the play once again, I am amazed at the issues and themes which still resonate with today's audience. But what I enjoy most about this play is Shaw's ability to articulate some of the timeless fundamental issues which arise when a woman becomes emotionally involved with a man. As Higgins reflects...
I suppose a woman wants to live her own life: and a man wants to live his: and each tries to drag the other on to the wrong track. One wants to go north and the other wants to go south: and the result is that they both have to go east, though they both hate the east wind.
