Reception

[edit]

The Sydney Morning Herald said the play had "sincerity and dramatic force... and, in addition, a saving grace of humour.. The shattering of dream worlds, the recovery of sane values, and the achievement of equality between husband and wife are worked out with skill and neatness, and with a deep and subtle under- standing of human nature."[6]

Premise

[edit]

The rehabilitation of a married serviceman, his wife, his mother and his lover.
