Buck Creek presents reading of ‘Pygmalion’
INDIANAPOLIS — The Buck Creek Playhouse will present an outdoor staged reading of George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 10 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 11 at the Buck Creek Playhouse, 11150 Southeastern Ave. Best known in popular culture from the musical version “My Fair Lady,” “Pygmalion” is a classic tale of nobility meeting poverty. Phonetics specialist Professor Henry Higgins, along with colleague Colonel Pickering, bets he can transform flower salesgirl Eliza Doolittle into a socialite and a proper lady merely by eliminating the cockney accent that signals her inferior social status. In this collision of different worlds, these intelligent and determined characters wrestle with social norms and wind up forming a unique, heartwarming bond. This live entertainment will be offered in a safe and socially distanced outdoor event with limited costuming and props.
