A Perfect Gentleman

American Review:

Stylish, Touching Play is Just About Perfect
The Courier-Post
by Robert Baxter

Most students of English literature are familiar with Letters to His Son, those wonderful letters of advice and admonishment that Lord Chesterfield sent to his son, Philip. Appleman has taken those letters as the basis for a drama built around the conflict between Philip's personal desires and his father's ambitions.

A Perfect Gentleman may not be a perfect play but it comes very close. Appleman creates richly detailed characters, combines them in tender conflict and provides them with words that ring with style, with elegance and witty humanity.
