It's a Family Affair... (We'll Settle it Ourselves) archive

False bankruptcy, spoilt rich kids, matchmakers on the take and lawyers on the bottle. Welcome to the world of Moscow's merchant class, the nouveau riche of 19th century Russia. Written in 1849 then promptly banned, Alexander Ostrovsky's debut comedy is a scathing satire on a vulgar and deluded society, where blackmail and hypocrisy abound, the rouble rules, and everyone can be bought, sold or borrowed. William Thomas (Twin Town, Mr Nice, Torchwood, Gavin and Stacey, Belonging) is aging merchant Bolshov, who dreams of a daughter-free retirement whilst clinging to his wealth in this new adaptation by Simon Crowther (Sherman Cymru's The Get Together, ITV's Coronation Street). Rhodri Meilir (My Family, Caerdydd) is Bolshov's hapless clerk Lazar, in love with the boss's daughter but embroiled in his scheme... The question is, who has an eye for the big chance? A night of scheming, plotting and laughter.
