Selections from the masterful works of T.S. Eliot – Plays – that changed the way we read literature!

This curated edition brings together three of T.S. Eliot's greatest plays – Murder in the Cathedral (1935), The Family Reunion (1939), The Cocktail Party (1950).

Murder in the Cathedral is a verse drama that follows the assassination of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1970. On of the first successful outings of Eliot's dramatic flair, the play puts the reader in a position to judge who or what really killed Becket?

The Family Reunion marries the elements of a Greek Tragedy with the arcs of Christian redemption. The tormented hero is on a journey from guilt towards redemption, one that is said to mirror its creator's personal dilemmas as well

The Cocktail Party is a verse drama in three acts and is one of the most popular of Eliot's plays. The story brings together the divine, the arcs of Christian redemption and the drawing-room comedy. The story involves looking at pretences, social appearances and the dark truths and realities of individual lives.
