Photo Flash: First Look at RUTHERFORD AND SON
Artistic Director of Sheffield Theatres, Robert Hastie, presents Caroline Steinbeis' major revival of Githa Sowerby's Rutherford and Son. Steinbeis directs Esh Alladi (Richard), Laura Elphinstone (Janet), Brian Lonsdale (Martin), Marian McLoughlin (Ann), Ciarán Owens (John), Lizzie Roper (Mrs Henderson), Danusia Samal (Mary) and Owen Teale (Rutherford).
"No one's any right to be what father is - never questioned, never answered back"
1912, the Industrial North
Rutherford is overbearing, dogmatic and disappointed. With three grown children and not one qualified to take over his family-owned glassworks, he rules his household with tyranny and disdain. Janet, John and Richard have dreams of their own but none can break free.
Mary is different. Married into the family and with ambitions for her son, she'll untangle the ties that bind. Caroline Steinbeis directs Githa Sowerby's celebrated classic about the struggle for supremacy, legacy and deciding one's own destiny.
