Excerpt from Hobson's Choice: A Lancashire Comedy in Four Acts
It was the establishment in their midst of a theatre mainly devoted to the production of new plays which gave Manchester writers an impetus toward the drama. That their output took the form, to a great extent, of local plays is probably largely due to the fortunate chance that the theatre opened its doors at the time when the Irish Players, who gave the great stimulus to the Folk Drama, were in the meridian of their success. In any case, there can be no question that Lancashire life is so rich in individual traits and its verbal expression is ren dered so colourful by its uncompromising dialect that the dramatist found in it a rich-veined mine.
