Pygmalion

Director Nicholas Martin returns to The Globe after a 15-year absence to direct the centennial anniversary production of Shaw’s masterwork of linguistic gymnastics. When speech professor Henry Higgins makes a bet with a fellow scholar that he can pass off a common cockney flower girl as the epitome of English society, he proves to be an expert in phonetics but a novice with people. Brought to lavish life as only The Old Globe can, PYGMALION is a charming classic full of wit and humor.
