Summary | "The Last of the De Mullins: A Play Without a Preface" by St. John Hankin is a play written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the De Mullin family, particularly focusing on the character of Hugo De Mullin as he grapples with his fading legacy and declining health, alongside the complex dynamics with his wife and relatives. The play delves into themes of family, social expectations, and the weight of tradition as it explores the character backgrounds and relationships. The opening of the play introduces key characters and sets up the backdrop of the De Mullin household. It begins with the uncertainty surrounding Hugo’s health after a stroke, and the ensuing concern of his family, particularly his wife, Mrs. De Mullin, and his sister, Mrs. Clouston. The dialogue captures the family's tension and underlying issues, including the strained relationship with their estranged daughter, Janet, who has returned with her own son, Johnny, after years apart. The opening lays the groundwork for the family's dynamics, revealing past grievances while foreshadowing the conflicts to come as they navigate their social status and familial obligations.
