1922. Ferdinand De Levis, a wealthy young Jewish entrepreneur, is desperate to be accepted by English high society, who just about tolerate him. However, when he accuses one of their own of theft, they close ranks against him.
The accused, Captain Dancy, is the archetypal dashing English gentleman and a decorated war hero. It is inconceivable that he could be a thief. Caught between morality and tradition, the Establishment must choose where their loyalties lie. From the author of The Forsyte Saga, John Galsworthy's play is a searing exposure of class and racial prejudices, where beneath the cultured veneer of English gentility, there lurks the ugly strain of antisemitism. "With consummate skill, Galsworthy shows how English caste and race loyalties diabolically intersect" The Guardian “Loyalties is a cracker: humming with modern resonance, it’s as tense as a thriller, and as thoughtful as the Ibsen problem plays” The TimesInfo
