A good though

not a -great- play, but a fun enough read- whether a tragic enough theater experience I’m not sure. (I see there is 2-hour video of the whole thing on YouTube. So I could get a rough idea later…)

Excellent

An exceptional moral read. Beloved by generations and Washingtons reported favorite.

Highly recommend.
