Review seen here: http://bookishnonsense.blogspot.com/2012/07/plays.html

It is a very good play, and there is, again, SO much tension. I don't remember too much from this play - only that it dealt with gender issues, that I was surprised by the ending, and that I would very much like to see this performed on stage! 4/5

In the modern age, this play does not reveal that it is sexist so subtly. What a fascinating play.

This was so short, but so good. I wish it was longer than just one act though.

This is such a short work, but it packs a punch. I love reading older feminist works and seeing the ways in which women subverted societal expectations in time periods in which they had little agency. I think I’ll be using this in my composition class when we study literature.

This is my second time reading this book for theater class and I always enjoy reading and analyzing this story.

Brillantemente feminista. Non hai peza teatral que me guste máis e poucos finais me satisfacen tanto coma este.
