PYGMALION
by G B Shaw |
“Pygmalion” by G B Shaw explores the themes of class distinction, judging people on
how they speak and look, the individual in relation to society, ambition, love and marriage.
All these lofty debates are achieved in a light-hearted humourous style, with lovable
characters, beautiful costumes and unusual intriguing situations.
We are familiar with this play under its “musical” title as “My Fair Lady” – first produced
for the stage and later as a movie. |

A DOLLS HOUSE
by Hendrik Ibsen |
 |
“A Doll’s House” by Hendrik Ibsen caused riots in the theatre and in the streets when it
was first performed in Germany and Ibsen was forced to write a happy ending before it
was allowed to continue. We are producing the original play as it was written.
The heroine, Nora, has only ever been treated like a “doll” – first, by her father, and then
by her husband. She finds herself unable to make any significant decisions with regard
to her own life and resolves to learn to think and act for herself. Probably one of the first
modern plays (1890’s) to champion women’s rights on a fundamental level. |

ON THE RAZZLE
by Tom Stoppard |
| “On the Razzle” is Tom Stoppard’s re working of Johan Nestroy’s 19th century farce which has inspired many play and screen writers over the years –
Thornton Wilder re-cast it as “The Matchmaker” and Barbara Streisand immortalized one of the lead roles in the film version, “Hello Dolly”; but Stoppard
outshines any of these with the genius of his word-play, his lovable outrageous characters and the cracking pace of what must be one of the
funniest farces in the English language. |
