Rutherford and Son (Classic Reprint): A Play in Three Acts - Couverture souple
Livre 238 sur 299: Modern Plays
Synopsis
A desperate bargain over a son’s fate tests power, duty, and love.
Rutherford and Son centers on a fragile moment in a Northern town, where a mother confronts a wealthy, hardened industrialist with an extraordinary proposal. She offers her son’s future in exchange for a safe place in the world, a stable home, and the chance for schooling—if he will simply grant ten years of guardianship and keep a strict, distant hand on the boy. The exchange sets up a collision of ambition, pride, and the costs of power.
In crisp, restrained dialogue, the play follows the tense negotiation between Mary and Rutherford as they measure influence against sacrifice, and examine what a life is really worth when the clock is counting down. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, exploring themes of class, family duty, and the price of success.
- Experience the sharp, psychologically keen dialogue that drives a high-stakes bargain.
- Watch a family’s past and power dynamics collide with questions of ownership, care, and legacy.
- See how a community laments, argues, and finally faces the consequences of a decision that will shape a boy’s life.
- Observe a portrait of work, wealth, and responsibility in a world where a single choice can redefine who a person becomes.
Ideal for readers of classic modern drama and character-driven plays about money, power, and family.
