The Eve of St. Mark is a two-act play written by Maxwell Anderson. The play is set in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II. The story follows a young soldier named Private Quizz West who is stationed in New York City. Quizz is on leave for the evening and is trying to find a place to stay. He meets a young woman named Janet who offers to let him stay in her apartment. The two quickly become close and spend the night together. However, the next morning Quizz is called back to duty and must leave Janet behind. The play explores themes of love, loss, and the effects of war on individuals.
