### *Pygmalion* (28 October 2023)
**George Bernard Shaw** penned this classic, and it has been lauded with love for how it presents themes of class, identity, and social mobility. [***Pygmalion***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/play/pygmalion-tickets) follows the transformation of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, into a refined lady under the watch of the enigmatic Henry Higgins. He will do so by changing her appearance and speech patterns, but he only has six months. Will he be able to pass her off as a duchess in such a short amount of time? *Pygmalion* is an extremely interesting look into social signals and how they shape the foundations of class and everyday life.
Directed by **Richard Jones** (*Endgame*, *Katya Kabanova*), *Pygmalion* at the [**Old Vic**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/old-vic-theatre-london) brings together the iconic talents of **Bertie Carvel** (*The 47th* and *The Crown*) in the role of Professor Henry Higgins and **Patsy Ferran** (*A Streetcar Named Desire* and *Camp Siegfried*) as the spirited Eliza Doolittle.

### *The Old Man & The Pool* (30 September 2023)
There’s something about water that makes us all contemplative, especially for **Mike Birbiglia**.

This tale, which explores the essence of life, the inevitability of death, and the quirky world of a heavily chlorinated YMCA pool, is a delightful treat for audiences of all ages.
