A new play by Winston Clewes.
[Starring] James Hayter

'Man-management' was the impersonal word they used for it in the army; but in civilian life, and particularly in the Taylor family, it has become a burning and highly personal issue, dividing father from son. For Jim Taylor, the opinionated young bus-conductor who has just been elected shop-steward by his mates, believes in the workers standing and fighting together, while his father, Bert Taylor, believes in the self-respect that comes from hard work, and says "if you do your job right you needn't worry, not really worry". This standing argument makes life all the harder for Jim's wife, about to have a baby, his sister, and his mother, since they all occupy cramped quarters in the same small house. But the issue becomes more than academic when Bert is promoted to departmental manager at the factory where he works - and an agitator takes this as an excuse to stir up trouble among the men. What happens makes a vigorous, argument-provoking play of today, about a house and a factory, each divided against itself. (Peter Forster)
