A Danish translation of The Family Reunion. Loosely based on the plot of Aeschylus's Eumenides, Eliot's second verse play – set in the drawing-room of a country house in the North of England – tells a story of spiritual crisis and Christian redemption. The play opened at the Westminster Theatre in the West End of London on March 21, 1939, with a young Michael Redgrave in the role of the tormented hero, and closed to mixed reviews five weeks later. "[T]he finest verse play since the Elizabethans." –New York Times
