This has been specially selected because Footlights, based in Lancaster’s Grand Theatre, is this year celebrating its 100th birthday and Harold Brighouse was its honorary president from 1923 until 1931.

He wrote many plays, most famously, ‘Hobson’s Choice’, which was first performed in 1915 on Broadway in New York.
