The Winslow Boy at Square One Theatre Company

The Winslow Boy is set against the strict codes of conduct and manners of the Edwardian era. Some feel it might have influenced the creator of the popular PBS series, “Downton Abbey.” It is a classic British drama about a father’s determination to clear his young son’s reputation after the boy has been accused of stealing and is expelled from naval college. To clear the boy's name was imperative for the family's honor; had they not done so, they would have been shunned by their peers and society. A gripping tale that resonates long after the final curtain, The Winslow Boy follows in the tradition of such popular Square One classics as The Heiress and Rutherford and Son. Winner of the Critic’s Award as the best foreign play of its year, this absorbing drama was a tremendous hit in both London and the United States..
