The Skin Game (A Tragi-Comedy)
1920
The Skin Game is a tragi-comedy play by John Galsworthy, first published in 1920. It explores the clash between the traditional English gentry, represented by the Hillcrist family, and the newly wealthy Hornblower, whose aggressive business tactics threaten the community's social fabric. The play delves into themes of social conflict, property rights, and the impact of wealth on relationships, highlighting the tension between old and new values in early 20th-century Britain. Galsworthy, a Nobel Prize-winning author, is known for his critical examination of societal norms, making this work a significant contribution to English drama.
