While I'm all for the revival of plays that have been off the stage for over a century, this play seems to lack a lot of modern day relevance. There are some plays that truthfully do not hold as much modern day relevance as others still running, but at least those plays reached a level to be considered classic. I do not get the sense that this play has come close to this status, and fear for how well it will be received by the modern audience.
