“I’ve kept you because you’re women. I’ve held my tongue because you’re women. I bully you? You’re the bullies.”

Richard Shannon longs to leave his business to take up a post as a scientific advisor in Brazil. But he feels duty-bound to remain and support his wife and two unmarried sisters. A bold portrayal of family dynamics from the dazzling writer of The Stepmother, who asks, what becomes of a woman who can’t earn her own living? We happily bring you a newly uncovered Githa Sowerby gem. This one promises to be even more provocative than our previous two forays into her fascinating world, as it seems to favour a male point of view … or does it?! —Jackie Maxwell The play is recommended for ages 14 and up. |
