The work on language is fundamental and it is essential. Pygmalion is a play on the English language, on the confrontating ways of speaking at any given time, hence the importance of respecting the word.

The actors must be high quality to address both parties spoken and sung, to embody characters more complex than they appears,  explains Robert Carsen and he continues: “I am very pleased with the distribution. We collected the best
theater performers and singers lyrical current Great Britain: Alex Jennings among others, Sarah Gabriel Nicholas le Prevost, Margaret Tyzack, Donald Maxwell, Jenny Galloway and Ed London” .

“And the end? a possible romance between Eliza and Higgins? The end requires special treatment. In our production it will perhaps be a little different from what that it is customary to show. must imagine that Shaw, who was hostile
the idea of a romance between Higgins and Eliza, had in mind and being true to his mind, let imagine that a possible happy ending could really mean for his Pygmalion and his Galatea” …
