    “ Hilarious overlay of 1900 era reality and modern attitude. ”

    “ This short play would be hilarious (and indeed it is) if it were not such a true reflection of life for women in the early 1900's.
    The whimsy of these two ladies conversation on their porch is a true delight and you can't help but feel sorry for them, yet admire their resolve.
    Love it! ”
