Pygmalion
How can you turn a common flower seller into a duchess? That is the question answered by George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, which has been delighting audiences for over 100 years. Teddington Theatre Club’s production has added to a long legacy of quality showings of this classic.
Audiences are whisked away to 1912 with the sounds of a busy portico in Covent Garden, amongst the curiosities of Professor Henry Higgins’ laboratory, and to the plush at-home of Mrs Higgins.
Whether it’s a taxi pulling up to St Paul’s, the distant chiming of a church bell up above, or the tick of a clock on the mantelpiece, there is plenty of sonic goodness to enjoy in this production. Additional work included the recording of crowd vocals with the cast.
