A strange play, though it had its popularity and was performed on Broadway by Robert Shaw and Jessica Tandy. Much of the play is humorous, with one patient of the sanitarium believing he is Sir Isaac Newton, another believing he is Einstein, and they seem quite harmless except for the habit of murdering the nurses. The ending takes a bad turn into Cold War politics but on the whole a very interesting work. ( )

This book has a grotesque side to it. But the meaning is clear a poignant especially for the time it was written in. We need to be careful what we discover. ( )
