Harold Brighouse's 1915 play is set in Salford, Manchester, during Victorian times. Obstinate boot-shop owner Henry Hobson dominates both his employees and his three daughters, only bothering to enquire about his meals before heading to the local public house for ale. His eldest daughter Maggie becomes tired of his oafish behaviour and decides to rebel by seeking a husband. She sets her sights on shy Will Mossop, Hobson's master boot-maker, but is Will made of the right stuff to help Maggie realize her independence?
Starring: Wilfred Pickles/Bernard Cribbins/Barbara Young.
