I LOVED the play! I read it at night before bedtime inserting it into my regular reading schedule. I had a hard time putting it down. It was compelling and fascinating to me. Like Todd, I was frustrated with the idea that your brilliant thinking is over by 23. I wholeheartedly disagree with that thought!!! I feel like I am just getting to the point where I have something to say! Albert Bandura has been refining his thinking and his best work has come much later in his life!!
On another note, as a family studies person, I am quite interested in the relationships described in the play. Mostly because I wonder why the older sister needed to "take care" of her younger sister so much! She treated her as if she were incompetent! She had been caring for her mentally ill father which requires a great deal of mental fortitude. I afraid that didn't make sense to me at all! But, the fact that the play creates these questions in me makes the entire play very provocative.
I love it that Snow involves faculty in this way! I hope to learn more from you all!

Susan,
I agree with you about peaking after 23. I think I learned how to learn up to this point and am still learning. With this, I think my best work is still ahead of me. I will keep you posted on how this prediction pans out.
