The Mob a Play in Four Acts

The Mob is a play written by John Galsworthy that is divided into four acts. The play is set in London during the early 20th century and explores the themes of class conflict, social injustice, and political corruption. The story revolves around a group of workers who are protesting against their working conditions and low wages. They are led by a charismatic leader named Tom Gedge, who becomes the voice of the people and demands change from the government and the wealthy elite. However, as the protest gains momentum, it also becomes violent and chaotic, leading to clashes with the police and the army. The play also features several other characters, including a wealthy businessman, a journalist, and a politician, who all have different perspectives on the protest and its consequences. The Mob is a powerful and thought-provoking play that challenges the audience to consider the complexities of social and political issues and the role of the individual in effecting change.THE DEAN. [Trying to bring matters to a blander level] My dear Stephen, even if you were right--which I deny--about the initial merits, there surely comes a point where the individual conscience must resign it self to the country's feeling. This has become a question of national honour.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
