The Orange Tree's Sam Walters discovers a forgotten 1920s feminist play by TheatreVOICE

INTERVIEW: SAM WALTERS The artistic director of the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond takes Aleks Sierz on a journey of discovery to explore the world of Githa Sowerby's 1924 play, The Stepmother (currently playing at this venue), and its themes of male domination, female independence and bankruptcy. Best known for Rutherford and Son (1912), Sowerby failed to get a full production of the later play in her lifetime.
