What readers are saying

Many readers appreciate the play's creative take on history and its strong feminist themes. The humorous portrayal of characters and the clever use of accents have also been praised. However, some find the Scottish dialect challenging and the historical context somewhat difficult to grasp, suggesting that it may require additional explanation for full appreciation.
