The intimate story of a marriage and a full-blooded
portrayal of life in a Midlands mining community.
Without doubt one of the greatest plays of the 20th
century, The Daughter-in-Law is an all too rarely
performed masterpiece.

Just six weeks married and it’s anything but wedded
bliss for coal-miner Luther and the go-ahead Minnie.
And the meddling of his domineering mother only
makes matters worse. Then a shocking revelation
threatens to end the marriage for good.

With the miners out on strike and money getting
tight, things finally come to a head. Can Minnie let
down her guard and allow him to love her? Can
Luther cut the apron strings at last? And will his
mother realise that she has to let go if the newlyweds
are to make a life of their own?

“One of the great British dramas of the 20th century”

“deep seams of tenderness and desire”
