To be honest, this playscript doesn't hold a candle to the original Nebula-winning novella or the subsequent expanded novel versions of "Flowers for Algernon", but it was still fascinating to see how this story was adapted for the stage. And I'd love to see a production of it eventually. I know a lot of theaters that would not produce this, for the dated terminology and potentially triggering language used from the late 1960s. But it is still an important work and deserves to be produced.
I actually read the musical version, but it was unavailable in GR so this is a place holder.
