March Play Reading: “The Eldest Son” by John Galsworthy

Mon, 02 Mar | Centrepoint Library Im Lohnhof 8, 4051 Basel

Join us for a reading of John Galsworthy’s The Eldest Son, a sharp domestic drama set in an English country house in 1912.

Best known for The Forsyte Saga, Nobel Prize–winner Galsworthy was also a prolific playwright. The Eldest Son exposes the rigid class system of Edwardian England, as a moral scandal reveals one rule for the rich and another for the poor.

Often compared to Downton Abbey—but far darker, more incisive, and uncompromising.

You are warmly invited to read along or simply listen and enjoy.
Open to members and non-members — no registration required.
