Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-02 00:00:00 Iran Gutierrez Aside from a fantastic Momento Mori scene, and another spent debating Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and the soul, this is a pretty terrible play. Speeches go on forever (FOREVER), scenes break and jump somewhat randomly, the plot is jumbled and somewhat incoherent, and I spent most of the play just wishing it would end and put me out of my misery. Calderon de la Barca is indisputably one of the great playwrights of the Spanish Golden Age, but there is a reason this play has generally been forgotten about as one of his works.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-31 00:00:00 Brian Plyler кальдерон довго запрягає, по дорозі городить цілу гору нелогічностей і неймовірностей (серйозно, допомагати серійному вбивці втекти із в'язниці, не припускаючи навіть, що можеш стати наступною жертвою?), але зрештою доходить до анонсованого в назві п'єси - філософської драми, кажуть, - чистилища, і воно навіть виявляється мальовниче.
