About this event

Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion , one of Britain’s most enduring stories, Eliza: A Bloomin’ New Ballet transports audiences to 1930s London, where a young flower seller dreams of a life beyond Covent Garden until an unexpected encounter with the brilliant but uncompromising Henry Higgins changes her future forever. Choreographed and directed by Joseph Poulton , and set to the much-loved music of Eric Coates , this bold new dance theatre work brings Shaw’s timeless story to life through dance, romance and richly theatrical storytelling. Exploring themes of class, reinvention and identity, it asks a timeless question: can we ever truly change, and at what cost? This first public workshop performance offers audiences an exclusive glimpse of a new work in development. Music by Eric Coates Additional music and arrangements by Jamsheed Master
