The incomparable Northern Broadsides return to Liverpool with an adaptation of Githa Sowerby’s powerful domestic drama Rutherford & Son. Under the direction of the esteemed Jonathan Miller, and featuring Barrie Rutter in the lead role, this critically acclaimed production comes to the Playhouse from Tuesday 21st to Saturday 25th May.

After the runaway success of last year’s A Government Inspector, the Liverpool Playhouse plays host to Northern Broadsides once more, this time with Rutherford & Son. This powerful drama written and set in the North of England, 1912, is an unflinching portrayal of an industrial Edwardian family on the brink of collapse.
