Karen B. (kjsbreda) reviewed Intriguing drama on 7/15/2009

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.
