CRITICS

"The acting was exceptional... an admirably unified cast... they miss nothing of what Mr. Inge intended... the performances are generally so good that toward the end, as tension accelerates in quiet, beautifully written passages, one viewer felt as if he was eavesdropping." Howard Thompson, New York Times, 4/9/1973, p.49.
