Soames Forsyte

Oh, yes.

Which was extraordinary, playing Soames Forsyte in this two-part, like the Harry Potter two plays, part one, part two.

Amazing.

And I did a play called The Rover there, and I played the rover in The Rover.

This is the struggle between the idea of property and the idea of beauty, between the commercial, acquisitive temperament and the more detached but equally passionate artistic temperament.

Even in the pursuit of beauty, Mr. Soames Forsyte never forgot the idea of property.

He was a first-class business man in the City, but he was also an expert judge of paintings which he added to his collection.

Oil and canvas do not completely satisfy any healthy business man, so Soames added to his collection, as the masterpiece in his gallery, an exquisitely beautiful woman whom he had made his wife.
