The Skin Game

on BBC Two England

A play by John Galsworthy
with

Threatened with the encirclement of his land by more and more of Hornblower's factories, Hillcrist, the local squire, preserves an aristocratic calm. But his wife reacts differently, and her retaliation almost ends in tragedy.

"More than half a century after its first appearance The Skin Game remains an absorbing, gripping drama which, despite the occasional hint of melodrama, still works wonderfully well today..." (Daily Telegraph)
"This is a lovely production... more, more, I cry..." (Daily Express)
