The Mill on the Floss

Maggie is always in trouble with her family, but as she and her brother Tom discover, blood is thicker than water. The issues of gender roles, disability, families, growing up and unemployment are explained in the play and show how Eliot's classic story of a family that falls on hard times is relevant to today's students
