"The Skin Game (A Tragi-Comedy)" by John Galsworthy is a play first performed in 1920. Set in rural England after World War I, it depicts a bitter clash between two families: the declining aristocratic Hillcrists, desperate to preserve their ancestral land, and the ambitious industrialist Hornblowers, who threaten to surround their estate with factories. When the Hillcrists discover a dark secret about the Hornblower family, they use it as leverage, triggering devastating
consequences that question whether anyone can win such destructive battles. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
