WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In this classic Lerner and Loewe musical, a man sets out to create his version of the ideal female, and transforms an impoverished young woman into a princess. In this much-loved musical, Trinity Rep goes to the heart of Shaw's dramatic telling of the Pygmalion myth. Expertly woven in this charming story of the Cockney flower girl and the curmudgeonly language professor are questions of class mobility, the teacher's repsonsibility to the student, and the alchemy of unlikely alliances. The production is directed by Amanda Dehnert.
Select Wed. and Sat. matinees, call the box office for information.

After Eliza says good-bye to Professor Higgins, she walks out, slamming the door behind her. Dehnert has consciously echoed the finality of Nora's leave-taking in Ibsen's The Doll House, setting up a reminder of an era when a woman had few choices beyond living with a man.
The other connection, of course, is Shaw's championship of Ibsen in the 1890s. Shaw's 1913 play Pygmalion was the starting point for Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's [...]
