What readers are saying

Readers have mixed feelings about the play. While many appreciate its exploration of a gay couple's domestic struggles and the witty dialogue, some find it lacking in action and engaging content. A few reviews express disappointment, particularly in relation to a poor film adaptation, suggesting that it does not fully capture the play's essence.

Synopsis

Two longtime companions, hair-stylists on their off day give each other trims, manicures, and what only they can give one another, the love of outcasts.

A hit in London and New York and later a film co-starring Richard Burton and Rex Harrison.

"Blunt honesty...Succeeds in being compassionate without losing humor or dignity."
