The Dubai Drama Group is pleased to announce that it will be producing George Bernard Shaw’s timeless classic, Pygmalion on 13th – 15th May at thejamjar in Al Quoz, Dubai.
Written almost 100 years ago, this romantic comedy shines a light on the thorny topics of poverty, social mobility and women’s emancipation. Directed by Nina Hein, it focuses on a very simple storyline: two upper class friends place a bet to see if a working class flower girl (Eliza Doolittle) can be transformed to speak ‘proper’ English so that she can pass as a Duchess at an upper class garden party.
One of the friends - a phonetics teacher - takes Eliza under his arm to transform her and inevitably falls in love with her in the process.
Come to find out if our two gentlemen are successful in teaching the common flower girl to behave and speak like a lady!
Admission is free with a suggested donation of 75 Dirham’s. Doors open at 7pm and the show commences at 7:30pm. Parking is readily available at thejamjar.
