Pygmalion [823]

Through video and sound technology, director Sam Pritchard’s new staging promises to interrogate class identity and social mobility in today’s Britain by utilising regional accents to ask - how much do our voices still define who we are?

After a national tour, Pygmalion arrives at Nuffield Southampton Theatres, Campus on April 25 and runs until May 13. It’s a co-production from Nuffield Southampton Theatres, Headlong & West Yorkshire Playhouse.
