Event Information
“Cherup Captin and buy a flower offa paw gerl” - thus begins the story of Eliza Doolittle who is taken under the wing of Professor Henry Higgins, a linguistic expert. He has made a bet that within six months he can transform the scruffy, Cockney girl into a 'proper lady' and pass her off as a Duchess. As Eliza undergoes a gruelling and often humiliating process of education, she begins to challenge Higgins' assumptions about class and gender, and in doing so, discovers her own strength and place in society. A funny, moving story, later transformed into the musical hit 'My Fair Lady'.
