I love this time period, and this play does such a good job representing the stereotypes we have of the era. Slick talking guys and independent gals. Love the entire thing. I even love the movie version with Brando and Sinatra.
It is hard to honestly concoct a review that is anything other than unremittingly hostile. This play is... bad.
