Kara Tointon, Rupert Everett and Dame Diana Rigg will star in Pygmalion at the Garrick Theatre in London.

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A stellar cast has been assembled for the new West End production of George Bernard Shaw's classic play Pygmalion.

Due to open at the Garrick Theatre on Thursday May 12th, the show will feature former EastEnders actress Kara Tointon as Eliza Doolitte and Rupert Everett as Professor Henry Higgins.

Tointon, who spent four years playing Dawn Swann on the popular BBC1 soap and recently won Strictly Come Dancing, is set to make her West End debut in the production.

Dame Diana Rigg was also recently added to the cast, with the 72-year-old former star of The Avengers set to appear as the mother of Professor Higgins.

Written in 1912, Pygmalion tells the story of a Cockney flower girl who is transformed into a society lady after the professor makes a bet with a friend.

It is an enduring favourite among theatre fans, as it combines Shaw's famous wit and style with sharply observed social comment and a classic romantic narrative.

Tickets for the London production, which is due to run until September, are priced between GBP28.50 and GBP55.50.
