Description
Strife is a three-act play by the English writer John Galsworthy. It was his third play, and the most successful of the three. It was produced in 1909 in London at the Duke of York’s Theatre, and in New York at the New Theatre. Strife charts the progress of an industrial strike, seen from both the workers’ and directors’ points of view as well as the directors and looks at the relationship between wives across the class divide as they attempt to persuade their obdurate husbands to broker a deal. John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was an English novelist and playwright. He is viewed as one of the first writers of the Edwardian era; challenging in his works some of the ideals of society depicted in the preceding literature of Victorian England. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1932 “for his distinguished art of narration which takes its highest form in The Forsyte Saga.”
