Wallflower adapts youth dilemmas into stronger stage drama
New York drama review of Wallflower by Meyer Davis contrasts with My Sister Eileen and Kiss And Tell. It presents an ugly duckling theme, parents outraged by offspring romance, and a poignant escort dilemma shown by Mary Rolfe in the title role. A drunken hotel raid misadventure, memory gaps en route to a Justice of the Peace, and a deeper, human-centered misunderstanding mark the play’s more serious treatment.
