THE
DAUGHTERIN-LAW
A Sheffield Theatres Production
The Daughter-in-Law By D.H. Lawrence Wed 27 February – Sat 23 March ‘My son’s my son till he ta’es him a wife...’ It’s 1912 in a Derbyshire mining town and strike action looms. But it’s strife at home that hurts all the more. After their long courtship the Gascoignes’ short honeymoon is well and truly over. Ambitious Minnie is still trying to disentangle miner Luther from his mother’s apron strings when a pre-marital dalliance makes a reappearance and blows the marriage apart. Will his mother have to pick up the pieces? Or will events at the pit decide all their fates for them? The bonds between a mother and her sons, between husband and wife, between desire and freedom, are stretched to breaking point. One of the greatest plays of the twentieth century, by the author of Sons and Lovers.
