PYGMALION by George Bernard ShawA Spilled Ink Staged Reading

4pm at Winston-Salem Wellness Collective

In Edwardian London, a high-stakes bet sparks a daring transformation. Arrogant professor Henry Higgins vows to turn Eliza Doolittle, a gritty Cockney flower girl, into a Duchess in just six months. But as Eliza is painstakingly remolded for the high-society stage, the line between performance and reality blurs. Higgins soon discovers he has created something far more complex—and defiant—than a mere socialite.
Shaw’s masterpiece is a biting, hilarious exploration of class and the power of language. While Eliza learns to navigate aristocratic tea parties, she finds that changing her accent is the easy part; the real battle is earning her independence. Pygmalion remains a razor-sharp look at the masks we wear, proving that while you can change a person's vowels, you cannot control the woman she chooses to become.
