It is part of the “Manchester School” of dramatists and is notable for its progressive exploration of gender roles and social expectations during the early 20th century. The play is set in a fictional Lancashire mill town called Hindle and revolves around a working-class woman, Fanny Hawthorn, and her relationship with a wealthy mill owner’s son, Alan Jeffcote. After the two spend a weekend together at a seaside resort, societal pressure mounts for them to marry. However, Fanny refuses to adhere to traditional moral expectations, asserting her independence and rejecting the idea that her actions should dictate her future or her choices in life. Hindle Wakes is celebrated for its feminist themes and its portrayal of a strong, self-determined female protagonist. It challenges conventional views on marriage, class, and morality, making it a groundbreaking work for its time.
