The Family Reunion
On the other hand, I do love the weird overlaps and coincidences that show up when you're reading more than one thing at a time. The play centers around one family coming back to the manor estate, and one of the rich male members is tormented by his wife's death by drowning. I'm ALSO reading Rebecca, which focuses on a family coming back to a manor estate, with a rich male being tormented by his wife's death by drowning.
Actually I just looked this up, and this play was published a year after Rebecca, so maybe it's not an accident.

A boring, unsuccessful play by Eliot. Probably a reason this is mostly forgotten, and I just came across an old printing by chance, bundled together with a play I actually liked.
