Production

[edit]

Henri Safran said the play was "less a satire of hypocrisy than a condemnation of those who, by exaggerating their religious devotion, become prey for the cupidity of imposters."[9]

Reception

[edit]

The Canberra Times acclaimed it as one of the best productions of the year.[10]

The Age called it "a thoroughly enjoyable experience."[11]
