NTR is Dancing – ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ - Audrey Hepburn studied ballet in Arnhem and performed to raise money for the Dutch resistance. From 1948 she studied with Marie Rambert in London but owing to childhood malnutrition, she had to forego her ambitions to become a ballerina.
About the event
‘Wouldn’t it be loverly’ to see this quintessentially English movie musical in a traditional Victorian theatre? Winner of eight academy awards, this is the story of pompous phonetics Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) accepting the challenge of transforming working-class Cockney flower gel Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) into a lah-di-dah duchess. The movie was adapted from the stage musical, which was in turn based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion. Don’t miss the gorgeous costumes designed by Cecil Beaton. ‘With a Little Bit of Luck’ there will be ‘room somewhere’ so don’t wait to get a ticket.
