{"product_id":"pygmalion-bpb","title":"PYGMALION BPB","description":"When professor of phonetics Henry Higgins wages 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.\n\nUniversally regarded as Shaw's most successful work for the stage, Pygmalion - here presented in its original 1916 version, with a wealth of extra material, including the author's subsequent revisions and additions to the text - has spawned a great number of screen adaptations, among them the famous 1956 Broadway musical My Fair Lady, and shows ancient myth's undiminishing ability to find new incarnations in modern life.","brand":"Wordsworth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43139833626802,"sku":"9781847498595","price":225.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/products\/337923_61138733778419.95468672_9781847498595.jpg?v=1687946965","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/pygmalion-bpb","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
