Pygmalion

Claire Danes and Tony Award winner Jefferson Mays star in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion. David Grindley directs.

The play focuses on a British professor who takes a poor Cockney girl named Eliza Doolittle off the streets and tutors her in diction in order to pass her off as a society lady. The play was the basis for the musical My Fair Lady.
