Produced by Louise Hope, Alicia Williams and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Krindlesyke" by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson is a play written in the early 20th century. This work centers around a remote shepherd's cottage on the Northumbrian fells, exploring themes of family, tradition, and the passage of time through the lives of its characters. It unfolds the dynamics between the Barrasford family, particularly the old couple Ezra and Eliza, as they prepare for the arrival of their son Jim and his intended bride, Phoebe. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Ezra and Eliza Barrasford at Krindlesyke, a humble shepherd's home. The couple engages in a lively conversation filled with humor and banter that reveals their long history together, their grown sons, and their differing opinions about their son's choice of partner. While they anticipate Jim's return with Phoebe, there is also a sense of tension underscored by memories of a previous fling Jim had with Judith Ellershaw. As the play opens, themes of love, nostalgia, and the impact of change surface among the characters, setting the stage for an emotionally charged exploration of familial ties in the backdrop of rural life. The arrival of unexpected visitors hints at deeper complexities to come, involving relationships that have left marks on their intertwined lives.
