Pygmalion
Production Company: Roughcast
Venue: The Corn Hall
“Cherup Captin and buy a flower offa paw gerl” - thus begins the story of Eliza Doolittle who is taken under the wing of Professor Henry Higgins, a linguistic expert. He has made a bet that within six months he can transform the scruffy, Cockney girl into a 'proper lady' and pass her off as a Duchess.
As Eliza undergoes a gruelling and often humiliating process of education, she begins to challenge Higgins' assumptions about class and gender, and in doing so, discovers her own strength and place in society. A funny, moving story, later transformed into the musical hit 'My Fair Lady'.

Support The Corn Hall
As a charity we rely on donations to help cover the cost of delivering our programme of exhibitions, events, our community activities such as our Dementia Café, Arts Award, Saturday Club, Tots Tuesdays, Start With Art, as well as supporting our core costs. We ask you to support The Corn Hall with a donation, so that we can continue to be a creative community hub for Diss. Whatever the donation, anything from £1 to £10,000, is support that The Corn Hall didn't have until you very kindly gave it to us. We offer you a very warm thank you.
