~ PYGMALION by GEORGE BERNARD SHAW ~

‘Yes, you squashed cabbage leaf, you disgrace to the noble architecture of these columns, you incarnate insult to the English language, I could pass you off as the Queen of Sheba’

Phonetician Henry Higgins has got a project: to transform cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a duchess of high society. However, the one thing he doesn’t realise is that his ‘creation’ has a mind and a life of her own, and he can’t simply throw her back into the gutter when he’s finished with his experiment.

A witty and slapstick reworking of the classical tale Pygmalion, this play is also a cutting attack against the treatment of women by men and the British class system.

The University of Cambridge Asia Theatre Tour is looking for 6/7 actors to come with us on an incredible trip around China, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. This is an incredible opportunity to travel and be involved in a once in a lifetime cultural and theatrical exchange.

We are looking to make the tour as accessible as possible and we will help you with applications for travel grants/other funding so please don't be put off by price!

If you want to know more (/see some weird and wonderful vlogs and photos) check out our Facebook (facebook.com/UCATT/) .

With the exception the three leads, Eliza (female/non-binary), Higgins (male/non-binary), and Pickering (male/non-binary), casting will be gender-blind. All casting will be race-blind. For extracts (also available on the door) and more information please see our Audition Pack below!
