Description
Double-sided leaflet for Touring Consortium production of Hobson's Choice by Harold Brighouse
What's the story?
Set in a Salford bootmakers shop in 1880, Hobson’s Choice by Harold Brighouse was first performed in 1916 and has become a popular title with both producers and audiences ever since.
This 2002 production was produced by the Touring Consortium and starred Tony Britton as Henry Hobson, Katherine Rogers as Maggie and Michael Begley as Willie Mossop.
The Touring Consortium was established in the late 1990s by producers Jenny King and Matthew Gale in a collaborative partnership with eight regional touring theatres, including the Theatre Royal Nottingham.
The Consortium was established to tour high-quality drama to large-scale regional venues, with particular emphasis on attracting new and younger audiences to each venue, alongside a comprehensive programme of learning and education work, such as workshops and talks.
Due to funding pressures, the Consortium was unable to continue and ceased in autumn 2018.
