The Eldest Son Series 2 by John Galsworthy is a play set in a well-appointed and spacious oak-paneled hall, with a large oak staircase and an inviting log fire burning in the fireplace. The hall connects to the drawing room, dining room, and billiard room, while a door leads to the servants' quarters. The story centers around Freda Studdenham, a lady's maid, who stands at the foot of the staircase holding bunches of white and yellow roses. Sir William Cheshire, a man in his late fifties, enters the hall in evening dress, with a sturdy build and a choleric autocracy veiled by thin urbanity. He speaks before reaching the bottom of the staircase. The play explores the dynamic between Sir William, his eldest son, and his family. With Galsworthy's signature keen observation and emotional depth, The Eldest Son Series 2 offers a powerful portrayal of familial relationships and the complexities of inheritance, class, and tradition.
Autorenporträt
English author and dramatist John Galsworthy OM (14 August 1867 - 31 January 1933) was born in England. A Modern Comedy, The Forsyte Saga (1906-1921), and End of the Chapter are notable works. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. Galsworthy was born in Kingston Hill, Surrey, England, in what is now known as Galsworthy House (at the time, it was known as Parkhurst). His family had a sizable home in Kingston upon Thames and was well-established and rich. In 1893, while serving as the first mate on a sailing ship docked in Adelaide, Australia, he met Joseph Conrad. The two quickly become close. From the Four Winds, a collection of short stories, was John Galsworthy's first book to be published in 1897. His writings, especially The Forsyte Saga, a trilogy about the titular family and their interconnected lives, have made him more well-known in recent years. He underlines their arrogant, acquisitive attitudes and moral norms while yet being sympathetic to his characters. Galsworthy died on January 31, 1933, and following his passing, his ashes were dropped from an airplane over the South Downs. In addition to monuments in Highgate Cemetery and the cloisters of New College, Oxford, he was cremated at Woking.¿
