For something that started out as kind of a light farce, that last act is an explosion. Loved it.

Read this because I'm going to watch the Broadway production starring Jessica Chastain.
The fact that I have had to read this 5 times during my years as a young school-girl, and decided to pick it up again, because why not.
A high 4 stars, maybe 4.5. I assumed the ending would just be a resolution of the plot (which involved "well-intended" dishonesty and secrets), but instead the plot outcome came a few pages early, from which the story sprang to a higher level, an unexpectedly deeper ending.
The play is an early influence for feminism, though Ibsen denied that intention and instead claimed "humanism."
