SIMON GRAY
Since the production of his first stag~~ play. 'Wise Chi ld' in
1967,' Simon Gray has alternat ely 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.
.
Wit h ' Quartermaine's Terms' Gray ret urns tq the' s~ttiiig 'a nd
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. Li ke Ben in
'But ley' and Simon Hench in 'Otherwise Engaged' he is a
loner; but his withdrawal from society. unlike th eirs. is not
self-imposed. It is that unwant ed isolation t hat makes his
resigned acceptil nce of h i ~ fate so hea rtbreaking in th e end.
Most reviewers have joined Frank Rich in applaudi ng Gray's
unerri ng ear for the nua nces of English speech and the
Chekhovian blend of t ragedy and absu rdity in t his wor.k !
"To a certa in extent. the subject of 'Quarterma ine'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 el y ill umirates.cbuld be 'jived
by anyone of us, and t hat's why they. a·rous'~ ·em otio ns th at
'
are anything but small".
