Production
The show was taped in New York over a month in February and March 1968. McKenna said the play was "a comment on our society, how our social code of behaviour imprisons people and stops them from being natural."[2]
Reception
The Chicago Tribune called it "absorbing, humorous entertainment".[3] The New York Times felt it was a "lacklustre production" which suffered from trimming the first act and where Travers "was simply miscast".[4]
Bill Travers was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Performance by an Actor.[5][6]
