Successful Play
George Bernard Shaw's immortal play "Pygmalion", from which the now famous musical "My Fair Lady" was derived, was brought to life in the Boys' High School assembly hall recently when the Boys' and Girls' High Drama Clubs combined to present it to capacity audiences.
Produced by Mr Derek Bird, the play's success can be gauged by the fact that an additional performance was required at the end of its three-day season.
A bedraggled Eliza Doolittle, played by Penny Skyrme, sits in a London street selling her flowers.
Professor Higgins (Wayne Callaghan) and Colonel Pickering (Ralph Gardiner) meet in the street, watched by Eliza.
At Higgins's flat in Wimpole Street, the Professor berates Eliza as Mrs Pearce (Sally Bradley) looks on disdainfully.
