This month, for one night only via Zoom, The Chameleons bring you the tale of Eliza Doolitle (Rachel Spolander), a humble flower girl. Join us for the events that follow her chance encounter with Colonel Pickering (Simon Crowley) and Professor Higgins(Robert Spolander) in the markets of Covent Garden. Can this stubborn Professor of Phonetics win his wager and transform this squashed cabbage leaf into a Duchess? If he can, what does the future hold for Eliza or indeed for her father Alfred (Charlie Wakely), the liveliest of dustmen?
Shaw’s play, written in 1912 and brought to the screen in 1938 forms the basis of the well known Lerner and Loewe musical, My Fair Lady. Although our play doesn’t contain singing, ‘with a little bit of luck’, you’ll enjoy familiar dialogue and witty conversation in our abridged production.
The show is completely free to listen to on the night.. All we ask of you to enjoy this experience is to make a donation to help the group continue to produce shows in the future. How do you do so? Well that’s nice and easy. You just click here:
