“a…harum-scarum piece of low comedy and poetic rhapsody…more like a gambol than a conventional play…Mr. O’Casey’s knockabout humor and his purple prose have been blended into a theatrical entertainment.” —The New York Times.
“…original admixture of superb lyricism and madcap farce…a very beautiful and richly comic play, with a kind of wild and unruly magnificence about it…a wild, gay exuberance, and, combined with the distinguished loveliness of his lilting prose, the result is wonderfully exhilarating.” —New York Post.
