An excellent read, powerful and moving. Gibson slightly adapted this play for the 1962 movie starring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke. Tightly written, with everything necessary to tell the story at multiple levels, but no "fluff" or filler. Highly recommended as an introduction for anyone who doesn't know about Helen Keller, or as an inspiring look back for those who already know her basic story. Any collector of material about her must have this play.
