Critical Responses
Brome's play touches upon so many themes and subjects — theatre itself; psychology and psychotherapy; sexuality and gender roles; lesbianism; colonialism and the alienness and "otherness" of foreign cultures; social satire and social justice; etc. — that many authors on these disparate subjects have discussed it or referred to it. The play stands as one "model for later antipodes-literature" and the utopian and dystopian literature to which it relates.
