Kipling’s daughter by Marjorie Firth
“My boy Jack” by Rudyard Kipling was performed in 2018 by Warkworth Drama Group. Kipling’s son enlisted, an act encouraged and seen by his father as a glorious gesture - he died soon after he arrived in France. Further tragedy had befallen the family some years earlier when his daughter died, aged just 8. I painted this imagined portrait for the stage set. There is a film version of this play with Daniel Radcliffe as Kipling’s son. Well worth watching.
