3 stars (Good Enough) Dry. Daniel Day has the portrayal down pat. ~Tubbs
4 stars (Very Good) Like a filmed play, but none the worse for that. I expected to be beaten around the head with the big issues, but this seemed subtle and - dare I say it - mature. Convincingly performed and staged, a living history lesson that's well worth seeing. ~HiFi
