'Hobson's Choice' (the title coming from the expression 'Hobson's choice' meaning no choice at all), set in Salford in 1880, is a comedy based around the battle of wills between a hard-headed cobbler and his defiant daughter. Henry Hobson has three daughters, good intentions and a fondness for the Moonraker's Inn. Maggie Hobson, the eldest daughter, has a head for business, a will of her own and won't take any nonsense - especially from her father. When Maggie strikes an unusual partnership with a lowly bootmaker, sparks fly. This play is recommended by OCR for study at GCSE. This audiobook is read by Stephanie Beattie, Rebecca Brewer, John Canmore, James Clossik, Claire Dixon, Lucie Howard, Andrew MacDonald, Jonny McPherson, Ed Pemberton, Damian Quinn and Matt Sutton.
