Fun Fact Friday!
Harold Brighouse is best known for his comedy HOBSON’S CHOICE, written a few years after GARSIDE and made immortal by David Lean’s 1954 film starring Charles Laughton as the bootmaker Hobson.
HOBSON’S CHOICE explores the themes of gender roles, social class and finding empowerment as Hobson's daughter, Maggie takes control over the business and her life while facing the challenging traditional roles demanded of women around the mid 19th century.

"Mariah Lee's Willie always has a sullen comeback but look closer: She's a bright, intelligent young woman withering from lack of opportunity and affection. In her quieter moments, she stares into the distance, seemingly envisioning a future she'd rather not think about."
--David Barbour (Lighting & Sound America)
