Press Reviews
"A powerful, absorbing and brilliantly conceived drama which explores the tragic fate of a free-spirited woman who comes into conflict with the rigid social and religious conventions of Puritan New England. Designed to be performed on a bare stage, and with a minimum of props and costumes, the play uses deeply probing characterizations and richly evocative language to achieve a rare dramatic impact. “William Gibson has written a riveting play about an American historical event…It had more thought—and more plain old dramatic meat—in it than about 10 typical Broadway plays put together.” —Washington Post. “…a muscular, flinty piece of work, engrossing from first to last, with language that has the texture of gnarled wood."
