{"product_id":"pygmalion-3","title":"Pygmalion","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen   professor of phonetics Henry Higgins wagers with Colonel Pickering that he   could teach even a gutter-mouthed flower seller how to speak like a duchess,   little does he expect that his social experiment will be riddled with   difficulties, and that behind her cockney parlance the girl in question,   Eliza Doolittle, has a mind, ideas and aspirations of her own. Things come to   a crux when the creature starts to rebel against her creator – and the scene   is set for a play that questions the class system, social appearances and the   role of women in society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     Universally regarded as Shaw’s most successful work, Pygmalion – here   presented in its definitive 1941 version, with footnotes indicating the   textual variants from the first volume edition of 1916 – has spawned a great   number of adaptations, among them the famous 1956 Broadway musical My Fair   Lady, and shows ancient myth’s undiminished ability to find new incarnations   in modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315546399102,"sku":"NW9781847498595","price":7.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781847498595.jpg?v=1778648297","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/pygmalion-3","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
