A tour-de-force farce full to the brim of characters that are impossible not to love. 'Winifred Edwards' is one of those shows that is a joy to read and a pleasure to watch. It hits in the way that a classic period piece should but without the often-found esoteric bits -- instead, we get the story of a woman's independence and the well-intentioned fools who get in her way. It's charming, gosh darn it!

A home run of a play that discusses societal expectations, finding our own paths in the world, and above all LOVE. This play has a plot line that keeps you on your toes, humor that keeps you smiling and laughing, and relatable characters that you truly want the best for (yes even the ones who get in the protagonist's ways). This would be a joy to see staged. Well done.

The Handkerchief Play by Maggie Smith is a captivating exploration of love and societal expectations in 1890s New York. With well-drawn characters like the independent Winifred and the witty Georgia, the play masterfully intertwines humor and romance. The hidden love affair between Winifred and Georgia is both tender and revolutionary, culminating in a heartwarming and triumphant conclusion. Maggie Smith's vivid writing brings the Victorian setting to life, making this play a delightful read that celebrates individuality and love. I highly recommend this play for its engaging storyline and rich character development.
