Casting announced for revival of Githa Sowerby's Rutherford and Son at Sheffield Crucible.

Rutherford and Son Sheffield Crucible

1912, the Industrial North

Rutherford is overbearing, dogmatic and disappointed. With three grown children and not one qualified to take over his family-owned glassworks, he rules his household with tyranny and disdain. Janet, John and Richard have dreams of their own but none can break free.

Mary is different. Married into the family and with ambitions for her son, she’ll untangle the ties that bind. Caroline Steinbeis directs Githa Sowerby’s celebrated classic about the struggle for supremacy, legacy and deciding one’s own destiny.

Steinbeis directs Esh Alladi (Richard), Laura Elphinstone (Janet), Brian Lonsdale (Martin), Marian McLoughlin (Ann), Ciarán Owens (John), Lizzie Roper (Mrs Henderson), Danusia Samal (Mary) and Owen Teale (Rutherford).

Rutherford and Son is Directed by Caroline Steinbeis; Designed by Lucy Osborne; Lighting Designed by Johanna Town; Composed by Oliver Vibrans; Sound Designed by Nick Greenhill and Casting by Vicky Richardson.

Rutherford and Son will run at the Sheffield Crucible from 8 - 23 February 2019.
