Salford 1880. Hobson is a cobbler aiming to marry off his two youngest daughters. Maggie, his eldest at 30, is already an old maid - so she can stay at home and look after him! But Maggie has other ideas and finds herself a husband - and with him they open a rival shoe shop! First produced in 1916. Tankia Gupta has adapted Harold Brighouse's 1916 classic comedy with enormous wit and charm. Updated to modern day Salford, the story is given fresh relevance for everyone to enjoy, whilst retaining the essence and spirit of the original.
