4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-15-2008; Was is too blatant?; I fel that the element of homosexuality was ruined by the synopsis on the back cover.

Bolderdash. (Then again, my grandmother always...; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-17-2001; Trite; Trite but true! The (trite) notion underpinning this play, that people tend not to be too discerning when thinking about foreign places and people (which leads to stereotyping) is amply demonstrated by the confusion over the setting of...; read full review | report as inappropriate
