The Skin Game

Production Company:

The Skin Game was first performed at St. Martin's Theatre London in 1920.  The plot tells the story of the interaction between two very different families in rural England just after the end of the First World War.  Squire Hillcrist lives in the manor house where his family has lived for generations. He has a daughter, Jill, who is in her late teens and a wife Amy, as well as servants and retainers. He is 'old money', although his finances are at a low ebb. The other family is the nouveau riche Hornblowers, headed by the single-minded and rich industrialist Hornblower who throws old retainers the Jackmans out of their home (much to the Squire's disgust), and who plans to surround the Hillcrist’s rural estate with factories.
