Saying that the play is “confusing, unfocused, and ultimately unresolved.”  He goes on to talk about how Lester Franklin’s play is not a naturalistic piece, and that the director as well as the actors seem to be “intimidated by the material.” By looking at this source I was able to understand who William Harris was as a theatre critic.  I learned that as a critic Harris truly tried to focus on both the positive and the negative.  Going into the archives and getting to see these materials was very personal, and I enjoyed that.  By getting to hold this review in my hands looking at the original, it was interesting to notice how two pieces so similar in topic William Harris looked at so differently.  However, he did so in a way that if he did make a negative remark he backed it up with a positive one. –Christina Hart </div> </div> </div>
