Hobson’s Choice
By Stanley Houghton
Directed by Colleen Batson
Performance times: 7:45- 9:50 approx inc interval
A well loved classic comedy last seen at BLT in 1988. Written in 1915 – a comedy from the cobbles of Lancashire. Take one bombastic shop owner, a ‘plain’ daughter, a long suffering boot-maker, a couple more flighty daughters and their suitors – a recipe for a very unlikely love story as newfound fortitude deals a resolution that is Hobson’s Choice. ‘Harold Brighouse’s play is both hilarious and thoughtful combining both gusto and grit’ London Theatre.
