ELIZA Doolittle gets a lesson in talking proper in Pygmalion at Kenilworth’s Talisman Theatre.
Professor Henry Higgins (Graham Underhill) wagers that he can transform working class Cockney flower seller Eliza (Karen Brooks) into a Duchess in George Bernard Shaw’s comedy.
Higgins then purchases Eliza from her father, Alfred Doolittle (John Nichols) for £5 and the experiment begins.
Talisman Director of Productions Christine Carpenter said: “This is an excellently funny play by Shaw that pokes fun at each and every class and has really withstood the trial of time'”
The production runs from July 4 to 11.
