Details

Returning from a conference on southern English accents, Hungarian linguist Professor Karpathy finds an enormous bouquet of flowers waiting for him. Aghast, he finds a note scribbled in blood-red ink with a very sinister message in the form of a threatening riddle, Who could have sent it? Is his secret cover blown? He only has until midnight to solve the mystery or fact the consequences...... Delightfully witty and (very) loosely based on My Fair Lady, Meine faire Dame is set in a language laboratory where its characters attempt to learn English from a very eccentric professor - with a secret to hide. Performed in English and German with English supertitles.
