‘It is smart, blinkered and heartless’ – Pygmalion at The Old Vic review | Theatre | Entertainment

admin

In George Bernard Shaw’s classic play, which inspired the immortal musical My Fair Lady, gorblimey flower seller Eliza Doolittle is plucked from the streets of Covent Garden and transformed into the illusion of a woman of substance by phonetics expert Henry Higgins. Shaw’s take on the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea might seem outdated in an age that has embraced regional accents but its interrogation of class and gender disparity remains persuasive. Eliza (Patsy Ferran) is tutored by Higgins (Bertie Carvel) to speak in Received Pronunciation and has lessons…

The five-member panel in Cochran County, which sits about an hour west of Lubbock, agreed with Mark Lee Dickson, founder of the “sanctuary cities” initiative, who said the ordinance was needed to finish the work started in the state’s near-total ban, often referred to as Senate Bill 8. “This ordinance would close some of the loopholes that…

‘It’s waspishly funny and a little slow in patches’ – Private Lives review | Theatre | Entertainment

admin

Noel Coward’s lightly subversive comedy still packs a delicate punch. Amanda and Elyot are a divorced couple who rekindle their combative passion while on honeymoon with their respective spouses. When Amanda’s fogeyish new husband Victor remarks, “I’m glad I’m normal”, she replies, “What an odd thing to be glad about”, neatly conveying Coward’s mischievous tone. If the urbane Nigel Havers and the beguiling Patricia Hodge are unusually mature for their roles as the heedlessly selfish Elyot and Amanda, they use it to their advantage in Christopher Luscombe’s elegant if conventional…
