Eliza, you are a fool! 12+ Automatic translate

September 30 and October 30

The Petersburg Concert and the St. Petersburg State Musical Drama Theater "ART" presents the premiere of a fantasy play based on the play of the English playwright Bernard Shaw Pygmalion.

Bernard Shaw created a witty and ironic play, loved by the public around the world and has not left the stage for more than 100 years.

The play tells about London professor of phonetics Henry Higgins, who argued that in half a year he would prepare flower girl Eliza Doolittle for a high society reception. The plot is based on the ancient myth of Pygmalon, who created the perfect statue of a girl, fell in love with his creation and begged Aphrodite to revive the sculpture.

Shaw himself defined the purpose of his play as follows: "Pygmalion is a mockery of fans of the" blue blood ", a stone that I threw through the windows of Victorian well-being." The author claims: the upper classes differ from the lower classes only in clothing, upbringing and education, but not in their soul! Higgins’ talent, Pickering’s nobility and Eliza’s perseverance turn the flower girl into a duchess, and getting rid of poverty and ignorance only strengthens the heroine’s better qualities - decency, self-esteem and sensitivity.
