add to cart   close window

"Harriet" is a play about the author of the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Harriet Beecher Stowe. Like most of the new pieces seen so far this season it is no great contribution to dramatic literature, but the production as a whole most certainly does add one more to the few bright spots on a famous Street now dimmed out in more senses than one. This is partly because the play itself is amusing enough and, under Elia Kazin's direction, plays well. It is even more because Helen Hayes gives one of her best performances and is likely to be remembered with a smile long after memory of the piece has grown dim.
