A play on the eternal triangletimes two. Act I, the libation, is amusing; try to presume the relationships. Act II gets depressing as the author completes his philosophy of psychology. Spanning these is a Dolly Levy type who serves as the catalyst to solve all of the relationship issues. Now leap in time to Act III and an ending that you will not expect.
This slim book is T.S. Eliot's play about a man whose wife abruptly leaves him just before a cocktail party at their home. One of the guests at the party is a complete stranger to the host. However the host finds himself drawn to the stranger and invites him to stay after the other guests leave so that he can tell someone about his troubles. The play reads partly like a satire of Britsh manners, partly like a parlour room mystery and partly like an Eliot poem. There are some supernatural/occult overtones which make this a very unusual, intriguing drama. I enjoyed it.
