The Cocktail Party by T. S. ELIOT
You see I think I really had a vision of something
Though I don't know what it is.
I don't want to forget it.
I want to live with it.
The search for reality In life occupies most of us and most of us settle for second best. But some can find their way to a life which is truly worthwhile, though, to do so, they have to leave behind the world of cocktail parties. with John Carson as Edward Chamberlayne Marian Diamond as Celia Coplestone Jack May as Sir Henry Harcourt-Reillj Elizabeth Spriggs as Julia Shuttlethwaite Sylvia Syms as Lavinia Chamberlayne Philip Voss as Alexander MacColgie Gibbs Tom Wilkinson as Peter Quilpe With BRENDA KAYE and ANDREW BRANCH
