What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play. While some find it beautiful and human, others feel it lacks coherence and seems unfinished, resembling a first draft. Thornton Wilder's work is new to some, and opinions on its quality vary significantly.
Beautiful and human themesComplex and thought-provokingGreat for design and directionFeels unfinished and lacking coherenceSomewhat childish writing
