Press Reviews

"Thoroughly delightful…the sort of gay and silken comedy of manners that puts everyone at ease on and off the stage."

— NY Times

"A sparkling, thoughtful drawing room comedy…It will be tenanting the Longacre Theatre for months to come…There's a surface shimmer to it all, with more than a little sound philosophy beneath. It's wise and witty and warming…we saw the final curtain fall with regret. For here's the literate laugh hit we've been waiting for. A gem and a joy."

— NY Mirror

"Pleasure is the word for it."

— NY Herald-Tribune
