The play, which later inspired the musical My Fair Lady, centers on linguist Henry Higgins' attempt to pass off cockney flower seller Eliza as an upper-class society woman. The work premiered in Vienna in 1913, and in English the following year in London's West End.
Gingold's revival features scenic design by Lindsay Genevieve
Fuori, costume design by Tracy Christensen, lighting design by Jamie
Roderick, prop design by Seth Tyler Black, and sound design by Julian
