Some of the dialogue leans too much on exposition but the characters are strong enough and fight hard enough for what they want that the whole thing holds up rather well.

Powerful, intriguing, kept me on edge without becoming overwrought.

I didn't really care for this play. I usually don't guess where things are going in plots and the second a possibility was mentioned I knew that was where it was going and worse, I didn't care or think that that would really be a worthwhile ending -- and it wasn't. The mother and father of the family were stereotypical republicans that I had no sympathy for and I felt this play needed to be richer and deeper. I look forward to seeing it performed to see if I was missing something in reading it.

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. A good twist, could have been crazier I guess

This is one of the best plays I've ever read. We're doing this play at my university this semester and I'm DYING to be a part of it. The ending is one of the best I've ever read, and everything affected me so intensely. What a wonderful play. If you've never read plays before, I think this is a great place to start!
