PYGMALION MON 6 FEB, 6.30pm | TUE 7 FEB, 12.15pm
George Bernard Shaw’s enduringly popular play Pygmalion has in turn inspired interpretations as diverse as My Fair Lady, Educating Rita and the nineties high school flick She’s All That. Shaw’s story is one of rags to relative riches but his Eliza is no Cinderella and Higgins is certainly no Prince Charming.

NEVER DID ME ANY HARM WED 8 FEB, 12.15pm
Combining theatre and contemporary dance, Force Majeure has developed an outstanding reputation for original, exciting and physical work. Never Did Me Any Harm is the company’s latest work examining society’s increasing anxiety around issues of raising children. In a disconcertingly Lynchian, Aussie backyard, six actors and dancers create myriad familiar characters from the verbatim text collected.
