“The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. They spell it so abominably that no man can teach himself what it sounds like.” - George Bernard Shaw in his Preface to ‘Pygmalion’.

In the 1960s, Professor Higgins, a popular radio presenter, visits a small Welsh town hoping to record a phonetics documentary. By chance he meets a young woman, Eliza, who soon proves capable of not only changing her fortune, but also changing the face (and voice) of broadcast!

With live music and a brilliant cast of community actors, this far-out interpretation of Shaw’s most famous work was a fresh take on a very well-known text.
