"Edward, My Son" was first presented by Gilbert Miller and Henry Sherek at the Martin Beck Theatre, New York City, on September 30, 1948, with Robert Morley as Arnold Holt and Peggy Ashcroft as Evelyn Holt; directed by Peter Ashmore, with settings and costumes by Anthony Holland. The play follows Arnold Holt, a ruthless self-made businessman whose obsessive ambition to secure every advantage for his only son corrodes his marriage, his ethics, and ultimately his world. Six scene-design floor plans at rear (pp. 94-95) cover all three acts.
