Notes:

"First published 1933."

"One of the salutory cruelties of the theatre is that a failure cannot be disguised ... [These plays] ... have all been failures. By which I mean that though they have all been produced, none of them has made any money for the managers who were so misguided as to back them ... The real reason [I am publishing these plays] is because in each of them I had something to say that moved me very deeply, and it is possible that this something, though it did not get over the footlights, may come through the printed page ..."--Author's Preface.
