Press Reviews
"Mr. van Druten has devised an airy trifle for simple enjoyment."
— Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times
"Van Druten’s dialogue is witty and his characters are fairly nuanced. It's also interesting to note that he wrote the play at a time when witch hunts were happening in Washington, DC, with the House Un-American Activities Committee on the hunt for communists."
— Talkin’ Broadway
