Plays : Third Series
The fugitive -- The pigeon -- The mob.
Produced by David Widger
"Plays: Third Series" by John Galsworthy is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. The series includes three plays: "The Fugitive," "The Pigeon," and "The Mob," exploring themes of personal relationships, societal expectations, and moral dilemmas. The opening play, "The Fugitive," focuses on the troubled marriage of George Dedmond and his wife Clare, delving into the emotional distance and discord that characterizes their relationship. The beginning of "The Fugitive" introduces the characters in George Dedmond's flat, where tension is palpable. George is anxiously waiting for his wife Clare, who has not returned home, expressing frustration about her absence before guests arrive for an evening of bridge. As the first act unfolds, hints of discontent emerge through conversations among the characters about Clare's behavior and her associations, particularly with a man named Malise. Clare ultimately arrives, revealing her conflicted feelings about her marriage, the societal expectations placed upon her, and her urge to break free from the constraints of her life. Through this setup, Galsworthy begins to explore the complexities of love, duty, and the search for personal fulfillment against societal pressures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
