The Henley Players present Pygmalion

DATE

February 21, 2024

Much-loved classic comedy comes to the Kenton Theatre, March 20th to 23rd

Eccentric phonetics expert, Henry Higgins, thinks he can pass off a poor flower girl in polite society with a few months of elocution lessons.

It turns out that spirited Eliza Doolittle has a mind and personality of her own and is not willing to lose them as easily as she sheds her cockney accent.

Strong characters and great wit animate this classic comedy, and the themes of social mobility and women’s empowerment are as relevant today as when Pygmalion was first performed, over a century ago. Whether you’re a lover of classic drama or a seeker of truth, this play promises an unforgettable evening.

Pygmalion spawned many adaptations for film and stage and was recently revived at the Old Vic.

The Henley Players’ Saturday matinee performance is once again ‘pay what you want’ with a minimum price of £5.
