D.H. Lawrence is renowned for writing some of the most provocative and passionate novels ever written yet he is also a great playwright.

His skills are nowhere more evident than in The Daughter-in-Law, which receives a much overdue revival by the company described by the Manchester Evening News as “just about the best theatre we’ve got”.

See the preview trailer

The Daughter-in-Law is something of a lost gem - way ahead of its time in its open and frank depiction of relationships; it is a passionate account of  a young marriage and a clash between sons, a determined mother, and an intrepid wife, a classic piece of Lawrence but with a foot firmly in the modern day.

“Its themes… are sex, class, dependence and freedom; they are couched in the language of a mining community, whose speech is both authentic and poetic”
