His plays played quite often in London, where the cheaper price of
theatre seats made him arguably more accessible than in the USA. I
particularly liked "The Man Who Had all the Luck" although that was an
early failure.
He was more surely than a dignified,  humane, liberal moralist,
disillusioned about the direction of capitalism, and more than a
talented writer. My feeling is that he got inside a the granularity of
human relationships, which will remain a challenge even under
socialism, and communism.
