Highlights
What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play, especially regarding its detailed costuming and production elements. While the setting of an upper crust British manor house was appreciated, some found the specificity of the costumes to be excessive and challenging for the production. Overall, it is seen as time-consuming yet straightforward to stage.
