Reception
The Bulletin wrote the play "suffered from the common failing of plays about writers, painters, musicians —artists of any sort —that the author did not really know what he was talking about."[4]
The Sydney Morning Herald wrote the play "was much more exasperating than disappointing to audiences who found that the play, whatever else it did, kept curiosity ticking over from scene to scene."[5]
The Daily Telegraph called it "definitely the type of drama which 'reads better than it plays'."[6]
