[Jesse · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not every play can be both a joy to read the script and watch on stage like Oscar Wilde. This offering was an okay read with a few good chuckles along the way. I wasn't that wowed by it as a reading experience, but it didn't take much imagination to see it could be a really good play with proper casting. I wouldn't reread this one, but I would probably go see the play if a production was in town.
