The Cocktail Party by T S Eliot. Published by Faber and Faber, London 1950. A 1st edition. In cloth covered boards size 22 by 14 cm. 168 pages plus an appendix that includes the cast list from the first production in Edinburgh in 1949. Book- binding and text in VG condition. Loose inside the front of the book is a programme for the first London production of the play at the New Theatre in 1950. The eight-page programme has the original London cast list and has been opened- a small seal that announces that it was priced at sixpence and was to be sold sealed. In original but poor price-clipped dust-wrapper, with some loss and chipped at the edges. An interesting survivor.
