| Summary |
"Her Own Way" by Clyde Fitch is a play in four acts written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Georgiana Carley, her family dynamics, including her brother Steven and his wife Louise, and their complicated relationships, particularly regarding love and financial struggles. The backdrop of societal expectations and personal aspirations adds depth to the characters’ interactions. At the start of the play, the scene is set in the Carley nursery where the children are celebrating Philip's birthday. The playful atmosphere quickly underscores the underlying tensions as the playful banter leads up to discussions touching on the adults’ lives, including hints of romantic interests and financial woes. Georgiana's affection for her brother is clear as she navigates the dynamics with her family members, including her concern over Steven's gambling habits. As the play unfolds, the characters’ relationships and the societal pressures they face begin to reveal the complexities of love, duty, and ambition amidst the backdrop of early 20th century life.
