Award winning Fylde Coast Players are proud to present the most famous Lancashire Comedy of them all – Harold Brighouse’s masterpiece ‘Hobson’s Choice’. Written in 1916, such was the success of this play that its title coined the famous phrase, when at the end of the play, Hobson is left with no choice at all. This exquisitely crafted comedy is set in Salford in the 1880’s. The tight fisted Victorian patriarch and boot seller Hobson, is incensed at the “general increase in uppishness “ amongst his three grown up daughters but is outwitted by the eldest, the clever Maggie. She marries Hobson’s best boot –hand and sets up a business to rival her father’s. The play is as ornamental as a pair of Jimmy Choos, but much more durable, offering a fascinating historical mix of northern grit, female emancipation and a touching belief in hard work and the ideal of bettering yourself. Maggie is a marvellous creation, a powerful, feisty woman who wears the britches in both the family and the boot making business. She makes men tremble at the knees and none can gainsay her – as Willie Mossop soon discovers when she announces “You’re going to wed me Will, and when I make arrangements, my lad, they’re not made for upsetting.” Hobson’s Choice appeals to all ages but may be of special interest to young people studying English and Drama to GCSE level and is a set syllabus play. But young or old if you want an enjoyable evening at the theatre then you really have no choice – only Hobson’s! Hobson's Choice will be performed on 19th October to 22nd October at Lowther Pavilion.
