The Forsyte Saga

March 12, 1996 to March 16, 1996

By John Galsworthy, adapted by Pat & Derek Hodinott

Directed by Martin Illston

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 consevatory - 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.
