I might've expected someone like this from a very young George Bernard Shaw, but certainly not from the author of The Old Woman Shows Her Medals, Peter Pan, and The Little Minister. It's too clever by half, without Barry's romanticism and real feeling for human character. Too, plays must show and not tell; this play tells about half the time. I'd give it a C for Can Do Better.Product details

The Admirable Crichton A Comedy James Matthew Barrie 9781117636771 Books Reviews
I was given this story to read for an english class way back in the 1970's at Taylor Center High School. Being a teenager who did not have a habit of reading, I considered it a drudgery. Man did I have a thing or two to learn! This story has left an impression on me that I still can't shake off. Now in my 50's I have still not forgotten the great lessons learned in Sir J.M.Barrie's "The Admirable Crichton"
Not wanting to give much away to the reader in waiting, pay attention to how the characters are given life by this most gifted writer. I loved it when I first read it, and can't wait to get my hands on it again. I believe you'll enjoy it as well.
This is a wonderful play, full of dry and witty characters, and it is also an interesting insight into the lives of the wealthy at the end of the last century. But also in there is the sociologist's dream - the opportunity to take a group of people and allow them to find their own roles within a new society. We all like adventure tales and stories of deserted islands and shipwrecks, and this is much better than most.
I loved this play when I first read it in high school and have been searching for it a long time. Great story,
