The Cocktail Party

About the show

After Lavinia leaves her husband Edward just before their cocktail party, a mysterious guest brings her back. The guest, psychiatrist Sir Henry Harcourt-Reilly, urges the couple to accept their superficial but companionable life together. Their friend Celia chooses a path to sainthood and is martyred abroad; two years later, Edward and Lavinia host another party and learn of her fate.
