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
Based on a short story by Daphne du Maurier. Spending a holiday
with her family in a luxury hotel during a heat-wave, Marie finds
life with her conservative, passionless husband suffocatingly
repressive. He is unexpectedly called away on business and,
inspired by hints dropped by her easy-going friend Elise, Marie
starts an affair with a handsome young photographer, undeterred by
the fact that he has a club-foot. The brief infatuation brings
tragedy and horror, leading to the photographer's death, a threat
of blackmail by his sister, also club-footed, and finally an even
more fearful dread, following an innocent remark by Marie's
husband, that such deformities are sometimes inherited, latent in
an unborn child.4 women, 3 men, 2 girls
