A Romance in Five Acts and Twenty-one Englishes is based on Bernard Shaw’s 1912 play Pygmalion – A Romance in Five Acts. Twenty-one translations of the play were collected and re-translated into English in front of a live audience at Kunstraum, London, and later brought together as a book by Onomatopee, Eindhoven. A cast of native English speaking actors later staged the second act of the play in its non-native English adaptation in Amsterdam, Berlin and Eindhoven.
With Mark Bellamy as Henry Higgins, Claire King as Mrs Pearce, Mark Kingsford as Alfred Doolittle, Ralph de Rijke as Mr Pickering, and Cézanne Tegelberg as Liza Doolittle.
