Pygmalion - Tour de Force
Having read the mixed reviews I went to see this play with an open mind. I was very pleasantly surprised and found myself chuckling throughout. The modern take on the story works well and all characters are extremely well cast. Loved it
Exceptional
Remarkable production. Edge of your seat suspense coupled with many laugh out loud moments. Most physical Shaw I’ve ever seen. Ferran is a feral and rubber limbed Eliza. Carvel is everything he wasn’t as Trump (human), both magnetic and aloof, a neat trick. Four leads are all as good as might be hoped for. All this on the ugliest set since Resurrection Blues. Kudos to Jones for simply orchestrating this masterful take on a 110 year old play, making it feel as immediate as tomorrow.
Wonderful Theatrical Experience
Both my party and everyone around us thoroughly enjoyed this production. The cast worked so well together to make it believable and balanced. I particularly liked the way Rupert Everest made his Higgins just that tiny bit vulnerable and likeable, a very sensitive performance.
Patsy and Bertie are simply glorious together.
I've new seen Pygmalion twice and will hopefully see it once more before it ends it run. Bertie Carvel and Patsy Ferran are simply astonishing in their roles, when they are on stage, I couldn't take my eyes off them (one eye for each actor) . I thought everyone played their roles superbly, and that the cast gelled really well together. Clare below is talking bollocks, it's a fantastic show, and well worth spending your evening or afternoon at The Old Vic. Funny and though-provoking. âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸
Star Studded by Still Missing a Star
Rupert Everett in the role of Professor Henry Higgins was (to my suprise) upstaged by the superbly cast Kara Tointen (as Eliza), supported by a strong performance from Peter Eyre (as Col. Pickering). Diana Rigg added something really special to the mix in her role as Mrs Higgins. The production was good, however, I left feeling a little cheated; something was missing to make it great. I think perhaps something about understanding/ believing Higgins' feelings for Eliza was were my minor disappointment lay. Definitely worth a viewing.
