THE Halstead Empire Theatre is putting on a free show for the community.
The highly-acclaimed professional touring company DOT Productions is returning to the Empire to present their stage adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's classic tale Pygmalion.
A spokesman said: “Will professor of phonetics Henry Higgins transform Eliza Doolittle enough to convince upper-class society that she is one of them, or will Eliza never forget who she really is?
“Pygmalion explores the English class system with all of its petty attitudes and posturing.
"Full of wit and wisdom, Shaw exposes the hollowness at the heart of that society, but it is not just about accents or class. It is about the battle of the sexes, of control.
“DOT's unmistakable entertaining style is not to be missed.”
The Empire is offering the performance free of charge, and you can reserve a ticket by calling the box office information line on 07778 025490 or by emailing mike@empire-theatre.co.uk.
The event is on Saturday, July 2, with doors opening at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
