    The life of a "forgotten" Gateshead author is being celebrated this autumn in a series of events on Tyneside.

    Githa Sowerby, who was born in 1876, achieved massive success with her 1912 play Rutherford & Son.

    It was performed in numerous countries, but almost 100 years later Githa's name has virtually disappeared from history.

    Until now, that is. In September, a plaque will be unveiled in her memory and Northern Stage host the first Tyneside production of her famous play.
