549 wordsnot specifically dated. What I mean by this, is even though the play was written in the forties, today we (people in general), can still relate to some of the issues in it.

This is how society in general treats people with disabilities today - the same as everyone else. I also liked the development of Laura's character over the course of the plot. At first...
