Produced by David Widger "Complete Plays of John Galsworthy" by John Galsworthy is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. The volume encompasses a variety of plays, showcasing Galsworthy's keen observations on social issues and personal struggles within the context of contemporary English life. With characters that range from the wealthy Barthwick family to the struggling Jones household, the plays delve into themes of class conflict, morality, and the consequences of one's actions. The opening portion of the collection introduces the play "The Silver Box," featuring Jack Barthwick, a wealthy Liberal's son whose night of indulgence leads to a series of troubling events. After returning home in a drunken state with a lady's purse he doesn't remember taking, Jack's careless actions set off a moral dilemma for his family. Meanwhile, Mrs. Jones, a charwoman grappling with her husband's unemployment and alcoholism, becomes embroiled in the scandal when her husband claims involvement in the theft. This opening sets the stage for exploring the complex dynamics between social classes and the burden of responsibility, with characters trapped in their respective societal roles.
