About this title

Synopsis

"Obviously something more than a successful play, it is the practical demonstration of a patently conceived theory of dramatic form, and as such of high historical interest."--Times Literary Supplement

"Eliot has attempted here something very daring and well worth doing. He has taken the ordinary West End drawing room comedy convention - understatement, upper-class accents and all - and used it as a vehicle for utterly serious ideas." --The Observer

"An authentic modern masterpiece" (New York Post)--this is T.S. Eliot's verse play about the search for meaning, in which a mysterious psychiatrist is the catalyst for a shift in a couple's relationship after appearing at a cocktail party.
