## Critical reception

[edit]

The play has received mixed reviews. One,[6] described the play as a 'dud', but another [7] while pointing out that the factual accuracy of the play is uncertain (because 'We can't be sure what really happened'), said that if 'judged purely as drama...it works admirably.'
