Rutherford and Son is a play written by Githa Sowerby and published in 1912. The play is set in the early 20th century in the North of England and follows the story of John Rutherford, a wealthy and domineering industrialist who runs a successful glass-making business. The play begins with Rutherford's son, John Jr., returning home after a long absence. John Jr. has been away studying and has become disillusioned with his father's business practices and the way he treats his employees. He is also unhappy with the way his father has treated his mother, who has since died. As the play progresses, tensions rise between John Jr. and his father, who is determined to maintain control over his business and his family. Rutherford's daughter, Mary, also becomes involved in the conflict, as she is torn between her loyalty to her father and her desire to live her own life. The play explores themes of family, power, and class, as well as the changing social and economic landscape of early 20th century England. It is a powerful and thought-provoking work that still resonates with audiences today.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1912 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
