Press Reviews
"This powerful and revealing drama builds steadily in tension as it probes into the intrigue and deceit which lie beneath the outwardly calm surface of a southern town. ”Brilliant. Lillian Hellman's most hellishly hypnotic drama…a shock you can't shed.” —New York World-Telegram & Sun. “Head and shoulders above the level of the season."
— The New York Times
