Reception

The TV critic for the Sydney Morning Herald thought it was "the kind of play which, if anyone cares then, will be a period piece in 30 years' time... It is not a particularly good or compelling play and while it was given an excellent performance from the A.B.C. Melbourne studios... it emerged as pretty dated... [even though it was made] rather unconvincingly contemporary."[6]

The play itself was described by critic Alan Riach as having 'Egalitarianism.. at the heart of this vision, but idealism may be just a liability.'[7]
