SIMON GRAY Since the production of his first stag~~ play. 'Wise Chi ld ' in 1967,' Simon Gray has alternately shoel<ed', :.l:onfJsed and amused theatregoers with his witty acerbic dissection~ of a specific segment of contemporary Brit ish socie y. namely. the bourgeois intell igentsia. . > '. . With 'Quartermaine's Terms' Gray returns tq the' s~tt iiig 'and characters he perhaps knows best: the staff room and te~lcn'!r~: '_

of an English school. (Despite his success as play\Nr novelist the author remains a teacher by profession). . St. John Quartermaine, a shy and comPliant bachelor. is 'an" inst ructor at a Cambridge school for fo reigners. Like Ben in 'But ley' and Simon Hench in 'Otherwise Engaged' he is a loner; but his withdrawal from society. unlike theirs. is not self-imposed. It is that unwanted isolation t hat makes his resigned acceptilnce of h i ~ fate so heartbreaking in the end.

Most reviewers have joined Frank Rich in applaudi ng Gray's unerri ng ear for the nuances of English speech and the Chekhovian blend of t ragedy and absurdity in t his wor.k ! "To a certa in extent. the subject of 'Quartermaine's Terms' is the decli ne of ' British life and institutions' Rich remarked in his New York Times review. " But the brave muhd'ane lives that Mr. Gray so compaSSionat ely ill umirates.cbuld be 'jived by anyone of us, and t hat 's why they . a·rous'~ ·emotions that are anything but small". ' ,.,,',-,

The musiC for this p'i:oductibn was taken from a recording by. .ThtE~gli sh Cham ber Orchestra of Benjam in ,a ritten's ' Simple Symphony'.
