Description

Harold Brighouse's Hobson's Choice is a four-act comedy that explores the complexities of relationships and business partnerships. Set in a Lancashire setting, the play follows the story of Willie Mossop, a talented shoemaker who becomes embroiled in a partnership with Henry Horatio Hobson, his boss.

As Willie navigates his new role, he must also contend with Maggie, the almost spinster daughter of Hodson, and her own ambitions. Meanwhile, Hobson's fortunes rise as they successfully take on many of his clients. But when Hodson becomes an alcoholic, Willie attempts to help him by offering a silent partnership.

This comedy of manners offers a witty portrayal of the working class, using humor to highlight their attitudes and characters. With its engaging storyline and strong character development, Hobson's Choice is a compelling read for fans of drama and social commentary.
