The ups and downs in the life of the poet, whose work would become the basis for one of the most successful musicals of all time - Cats.

The poet T S Eliot's unhappiness for much of his life is set against the happiness and mutual love he found with his much younger second wife Valerie.

This program reveals the contrast between a previously unhappy man with his deeply fulfilling love for Valerie Eliot. An unexpected result of the marriage, many years after Eliot's death was the creation of the most successful musical of all time - Cats.
