I didn't completely understand this play the first time I read it, mostly because I missed one of the most important clues the women find from Minnie's things. But once I understood the play, I did grow to like it more and write a good essay about it. It's a fun play to discuss, I just wish it was a tad bit longer.

Chilling and thought-provoking feminist play. I especially loved how the truth unfolded indirectly through the multiple symbols.

*giggle* This is probably not the kind of thing I should find amusing, and yet....a quick and fun read, especially if you have as dark a sense of humor as I do.
