The Cocktail Party

“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.
