I listened to a radio drama production of this play on Playing On Air, and it was really fun! Though the time period and actual history is very sad and dark, Gitter's choices and modernized language show a sweet, happy moment in time, made more poignant by the darkness looming over these characters. These characters would be great fun for actors - they're funny and feisty and generally a great time. Give it a read, a listen, or a production!
