Hobson’s Choice by Harold Brighouse 
Performed 10th June 1972 at the Welwyn Drama Festival

The story is set in Salford in 1880. It bears many resemblances to the stories of Cinderella and King Lear including a deceased mother; three daughters, two of whom are pretty and frivolous, the third of whom is clever and hardworking; and a fairy godmother
