The First Night of 'Pygmalion'

on BBC Two England

by Richard Huggett
[Starring] Max Adrian as Bernard Shaw, Miriam Karlin as Mrs Patrick Campbell and John Osborne as Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree

Three monstrous - but brilliantly witty - egoists came together when Beerbohm Tree agreed to stage Shaw's new play Pygmalion at His Majesty's Theatre in April 1914. The star was the outrageous Mrs Patrick Campbell.
