{"product_id":"mrs-warrens-profession","title":"Mrs Warrens Profession","description":"\u003cp\u003eGitha Sowerby’s \u003cem\u003eRutherford and Son\u003c\/em\u003e took the London theatre by storm in 1912. Following its triumphant run, the play toured to New York, was produced throughout England, and was translated and staged in multiple European locations. Yet Sowerby’s initial theatrical success would not be repeated. With historical hindsight, we can see Sowerby’s experience as comparable to that of many other women writers who struggled to achieve lasting recognition, especially when their work was perceived as critiquing the forces restricting women’s lives. These vivid domestic dramas explore timely questions of capitalism, feminism, and personal freedom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the acclaimed revival of \u003cem\u003eRutherford\u003c\/em\u003e at the National Theatre in 1994, and with the efforts by feminist scholars and theatre artists to rediscover the work of such forgotten women writers, Sowerby and her dramas have secured renewed interest. This edition gathers \u003cem\u003eRutherford and Son\u003c\/em\u003e, its companion piece \u003cem\u003eA Man and Some Women\u003c\/em\u003e, and the postwar play \u003cem\u003eThe Stepmother\u003c\/em\u003e. The edition will provide teachers, students, and artists with important historical contexts for Sowerby’s dramas and will demonstrate the ongoing cogency of these dynamic, insightful, and engaging plays. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315292053886,"sku":"NW9781554811854","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781554811854.jpg?v=1778715594","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/mrs-warrens-profession","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
