Press Reviews
"It is wonderful to have an original, ever youthful and increasingly wise writer like Thornton Wilder back in the theatre."
— The New York Times
"All children, emerging from the egocentric monsterhood of infancy – 'Gimme! Gimme!' cries the Nero in the bassinet – are out to win their way... from their parents, playmates, from 'life,' from all that is bewildering and inexplicable in themselves. They are also out to win some expression of themselves as individuals."
— Thornton Wilder, The Paris Review Interviews, 1957
