    Rich language, terrific character work in the three sisters, with a lot to say about how history is written, who's written out of it, and what counts as "important" work. It truly lives up to the description of "poetic, playful and unflinching." I'm dying to see it on stage.

    An eye opening excursion through history to see things through the perspective of the daughters of the icons we hold up. Well done.

    Saw this at Georgetown a few years ago -- really rich characters. The imagery of the paintings has stuck with me to this day. A great way to reevaluate the famous men from history is through the lens of their oft forgotten daughters, wives, women in their lives, who deserved so much better than how we typically remember them (aka not at all).

    This is a brilliant play - and hilarious, too. Though L M quotes many of Milton's unforgettable lines, L M also shows that Milton was not a good father, to say the least. As a perpetuator of the myth that girls are not capable of academic learning, which was the cultural belief of the time, he becomes a tyrant who uses his daughters to take care of his own needs. He was a genius, and the genius of this play is that it shows the foibles of a man, special as he is, through the eyes of his entertaining daughters.
