It's holiday week in the Lancashire town of Hindle, just before the
First World War. Fanny Hawthorne, a spirited, determined mill girl,
has just returned from a weekend in Blackpool with her friend Mary
Hollins. At least that's what she tells her parents. In fact, she's
been spending the weekend with Alan Jeffcote, a wealthy mill
owner's son who is engaged to someone else. When Fanny's parents
discover the truth, they set out to ensure that Alan will do the
decentthing and marry her - only to discover that Fanny has her own
ideas on the matter... One of the first plays to have a working
class female protagonist, Hindle Wakes was hugely controversial at
the time of its writing.This re-issue accompanies a centenary
production at Finborough Theatre.
