Tyneside, 1912. John Rutherford’s glass-making empire is in trouble.  A brutal industrialist who has sacrificed his children for the family firm, he is about to count the true cost of his tyranny. With his son-and-heir set on renouncing the family business and his daughter embroiled in a scandalous love affair, the future looks bleak indeed.

A century after it thrilled audiences in London and New York, Githa Sowerby’s forgotten Geordie drama receives its North East premiere.
