My Fair Lady to be performed in Poole in May

Now in its 106th year, Poole and Parkstone Productions returns to the Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts, with a dazzling new production of Lerner & Loewe’s musical ‘My Fair Lady’, running from Wednesday 21 to Saturday 24 May.

Set in Edwardian London, the story follows the spirited flower girl Eliza Doolittle, who meets sharp-tongued phonetics professor Henry Higgins in Covent Garden Market. Higgins wagers he can transform Eliza into a lady of high society simply by teaching her to speak ‘properly’.

Packed with wit, warmth, and a wealth of iconic songs – including ‘Wouldn’t It Be Loverly’, ‘The Rain In Spain’, ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’, and ‘On the Street Where You Live’ – ‘My Fair Lady’ is a treat for all theatre lovers.

As well as shows at 7.30pm, there is a matinee on the Saturday at 2.30pm. Tickets available from www.lighthousepoole.co.uk or on 01202 280000.
