BlueForms returns to the work of T.S. Eliot to bring you this genre-smashing look at the poet's search for meaning in the 20th century. From Prufrock to The Waste Land this work will take you deep into one of the most significant minds of the modern age.

These Fragments is set in New York City, circa 1968 at the center of the city's burgeoning art-scene. It's the place to see and be seen for every aspiring artist anxious to make a name for himself. It's in this cooler-than-thou atmosphere that we meet Arthur - a songwriter, Caroline - a painter, and Clarke - a talentless scenester. And lurking just around the corner is Eliot, a possibly-crazed woman of infitite age who emerges on occassion "to squeeze the universe into a ball" and to decry the vacuous waste that is the life around her.
