Epitaph for George Dillon

'Epitaph for George Dillon', in which a mediocre artist is planted into the weed patch of petite bourgeois suburbia, absorbs and fascinates because it is a realistic modern drama which is not bourgeois in its underlying assumptions. It is like a familiar building caught at an angle which suddenly makes it look like something never seen before. 'Epitaph for George Dillon' premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1958.
