A refreshing twist on the ‘wicked stepmother’ story – the young stepmother, Lois Relph, cares deeply for her new daughters. It’s her husband who’s the problem – he can’t seem to hold on to money and everyone in town knows it. Except his wife. She’s a hard-working dressmaker who must support her family and when their daughter wants to get married, more than one secret must be revealed. An undiscovered theatrical gem from the author of Rutherford and Son, and the North American premiere of a play written in 1924
