John Rutherford is a father, an industrialist and a tyrant. Owner of the local glassworks, he rules his workforce and his family with an iron fist. Keeping the business in the family is his obsession. Ironically, it’s an obsession that finally leads to the family’s destruction. A huge hit when it was first performed in 1912, the National Theatre recently hailed it as one of the top 100 plays of the 20th century.

This Lace Market Theatre amateur production is presented by arrangement with Samuel French, Ltd.
