Eliot explores the inner motives and masks that people wear while keeping you smiling the whole while. Be careful though; while you may be delighted the whole while, Eliot is busy weaving a tale that truly gets right down into everyone's personal hells. Truly a drama that only he could deliver. A modern verse play & a comedy about the search for meaning, in which a psychiatrist is the catalyst for the action. What will the mistress do?* A NEAR FINE copy with minimal shelf wear. School stamps and light annotation reduce it to VG*
