Superb

This is a superb rendition of descent into madness. A frightening play. What makes it even more interesting to me is that it is about literary siblings Mary and Charles Lamb, whose "Tales of Shakespeare" is still in print, over a hundred years after publication. An additional bonus is that the Lambs were friends of Aaron Burr, about whom I've done numerous reviews.
