£13 tickets for The Old Vic's five-star Pygmalion... but not for long! George Bernard Shaw's 1913 Pygmalion is the play that keeps on giving, prompting adaptations from My Fair Lady to Pretty Woman. The tale of the pompous Professor Henry Higgins, who tries to sculpt a society woman out of 'common' cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, has been beloved of generations of audiences. And right now, The Old Vic is staging an adaptation that's attracting rave reviews. Olivier-winning actors Bertie Carvel and Patsy Ferran star in this modern twist on a stone-cold classic — bringing the house down with gales of laughter and floods of tears. "Astonishing performances. Just go see it," says The Arts Desk's ★★★★★ review. "A tremendous remastering" agrees The Observer in another ★★★★★ write-up. Others call it "Thrilling" ★★★★ (Sunday Times) and "Hugely entertaining" ★★★★ (London Theatre). From 12 October, tickets are available from as little just £13 — but don't grow accustomed to those prices: the show must end on 28 October 2023, so there's only a few weeks left to catch Pygmalion.
