Press Reviews
"A work of passion and power with the ring of political truth. It is not only the best of the few dramas to reach Broadway this season, it is also the funniest comedy."
— Time Magazine
"A marvelous piece of theatre as well as a great treatise on the nature of mankind... should take its place as a classic of dramatic literature."
