 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article length okay. Article creation date versus file date okay.  Article length okay at 2243 B (396 words) readable prose size.  Article neutral, well-sourced, and looking at a couple of the sources I have seen no copyvio issues.  Hook length is okay at 142 characters.  I've done a little copyediting on the hook text, two changes for grammar and one because I think 'viewed' makes more sense than 'named' in this case.  I've seen the hook sourcing in the cites and hook neutrality is okay.  Hook interest level is good.  QPQ done, with diligence.


 * , I think you could add a bit more about the success of the play. It seems to have won an Oppenheimer Award and per one of the sources here it's the most well-known thing Chafee has done.  And it would be good to include some of the reviews of the 2011 revivial, such as this one, and to mention that Barbara Bain (a very well known actress to anyone who watched TV in the 1960s/1970s) was cast in it.


 * But these points are outside the DYK criteria, so for here this is good to go. And this is a worthwhile addition to WP ...  Wasted Time R (talk) 18:40, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
