GALATEA 2.0 is a modern speculation on the “Pygmalion” myth, a deconstruction of the muse/artist relationship, and an exploration of intimacy that merges Mrs. Patrick Campbell/George Bernard Shaw, found text, incel culture, lots of blue Gatorade, puppetry, plinths, and a very old Pekinese. The show chronicles Eliza, a sex worker hired by a disaffected young man to role play as a top of the line “love doll” when his own doll mysteriously breaks.

The production features Meg MacCary as Mrs. Pat and Vincent Santvoord as Henry/ Shaw/Pygmalion. Izabel Mar and Violet Savage will share the dual roles of Galatea and Eliza, for which they will flip a coin on stage directly before each show, determining which part–love doll or human woman–each actor will embody during that particular performance.
