SynopsisA modern verse play about the search for meaning, in which a psychiatrist is the catalyst for the action. "An authentic modern masterpiece" (New York Post). "Eliot really does portray real-seeming characters. He cuts down his poetic effects to the minimum, and then finally rewards us with most beautiful poetry" (Stephen Spender)., "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., "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.
