Dramatized from the novels of John Galsworthy. Galsworthy's famous trilogy has been superbly adapted for the stage and achieved enormous acclaim following a national tour starring Nyree Dawn Porter. Set between 1886 and 1920 with multiple locations cleverly contained within one set - a Victorian style conservatory - requiring the minimum of props the play centres on Soames and Irene and the stifling destructive power of the Forsyte family embodied in the cold hauteur of Soames.5 women 5 men 1 woman or man
