A controversial 1912 classic: one of the first plays in modern British history to feature a female working-class protagonist.
Stanley Houghton fue un destacado dramaturgo británico de principios del siglo XX, cuyas obras a menudo exploraban las tensiones sociales y las transformaciones de la Inglaterra de la época. Se hizo famoso principalmente por su habilidad para capturar el lenguaje y las costumbres de la era, dotando a sus obras de realismo y atemporalidad. Su obra más célebre, estrenada por primera vez en 1912, sigue siendo una pieza clave para comprender el teatro británico moderno temprano. Houghton también contribuyó significativamente a la cultura literaria de su tiempo a través de su labor como crítico de teatro y sus artículos publicados en prestigiosos periódicos.
