My Fair Lady
Sedgwick Theater
7137 Germantown Ave. Philadelphia
In My Fair Lady, Henry Higgins, a celebrated professor of phonetics, makes a bet that he can pass off a lower-class flower girl from Covent Garden as a duchess at the Embassy Ball. By dressing her in expensive clothing, improving her manners and teaching her how to speak correctly, Higgins transforms Eliza Doolittle into a lady. But it isn't long before Higgins becomes enamored with his creation, now the most eligible lady in London. Adapted from George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, My Fair Lady explores who owns the English language, what remains of the 20th century's rigid class system and what defines independence for a modern woman. Enjoy this Quintessence Theatre Group production at Philadelphia's Sedgwick Theater.
