The Forsyte Saga Part 1: Irene

'Sumptuous, panoramic, intense… a masterpiece.' (Times)

1886. The Empire is at its peak. Business is good for the Forsytes. Over sixty years they have invested, acquired and saved their way towards wealth. But the Forsyte lust for ownership is relentless.

John Galsworthy’s Nobel-winning saga about love, ownership and the end of Empire is retold in Josh Roche’s acclaimed two-part production.
