...New York-based theater company whose adventurously pared-down aesthetic and status as a critical darling has lately placed it in great demand, both at home ... and elsewhere
The New York Times
Running concurrently with the Lincoln Center's revival of Lerner and Loewe's musical theatre classic My Fair Lady, New York City-based theatre company Bedlam present Nobel Laureate George Bernard Shaw's romantic comedy Pygmalion for a limited six-week run this Spring. Helmed by the company's own Artistic Director Eric Tucker, Shaw's incisive social commentary formed the basis of the beloved musical.
When it debuted in 1914, Pygmalion polarised audiences, delighting them but also causing scandal with its witty attack on the oppressive British class system and gender inequality. Shaw in turn based his drama on the Greek Myth of the same name, likening his upper class phoneticist Henry Higgins to the sculptor Pygmalion who thinks he can transform a working class flowergirl into the toast of polite British society, without taking into account that she may just have a mind of her own...
The story opens with the meeting of Professor Henry Higgins and Colonel Pickering, a fellow linguist. Higgins bets his old friend that with the use of dialect coaching and phonetics he'll be able to turn a cockney flower girl into a well-spoken gentlewoman within a matter of months. When said flower girl Eliza Doolittle turns to Higgins for lessons, the haughty professor embarks on a stunning transformation, but he may have met his match in the fiery Miss Doolittle.
