George Bernard Shaw

Pygmalion

Director Helena Petković

Premiere March 23, 2012.

The most popular work of the English dramatist G.B. Shaw is a superb text about Eliza Doolitle, a common flower-girl. Her mentor professor of phonetics, Henry Higgins, teachers her everything that makes a young lady genteel; proper speech, elegant posture and appropriate fine manners, that will result in a commendable social status. Sharp criticism of the society through witty dialogues is just one element of this most representative text of the English dramatics from the beginning of the 20th century. The performance will be directed by a young stage director Helena Petković. This is her first cooperation with the Drama of the CNT in Zagreb.
