I enjoy reading history so this play was of interest for me. I thought the play was about a half hour too long. But, the storyline was interesting although not riveting. It helps if you know the events surrounding the Lindberg kidnapping case. I would have preferred a full set instead of the barebones set used. My guess is that since this play is reportory the same set is used for both productions. Still in the limited space available a large cast did an excellent job.Written on Feb 27 2009

3 of us saw the show and we all liked it, but liked it for different aspects. One loved the staging and one hated the staging, we all liked different performers better than others but all agreed the Violet was wonderful and the story is so unbelievable (unbelieveable we'd never heard anything about it)we were mesmerized.Written on Mar 13 2009
