The Questors Present

Rutherford & Son

By Githa Sowerby

When loyalties are divided, what matters more: family or money?

Rutherford's glass-making business is in trouble. His eldest son has a plan that might save the factory and secure its future. However, in the battle of wills that ensues, both father and son stubbornly play to their own advantage.

Fading power, dashed hopes and family secrets take centre stage in this gripping portrayal of two generations of a northern family struggling with class, feminism and freedom.

Rutherford and Son received huge acclaim when first staged in 1912 and has rightly claimed its place as a modern classic.

Suitable for those aged 14+.
