Better than it sounds
The set and costumes are great, the acting is good and the story even though you know the ending is very interesting. Dont hesitate to see it.

Error of the Moon
Yes, perhaps the script is a bit pedestrian and the action, of course, as specified, speculative.

The set and staging were also good.
I think it is worth attending to learn more about an interesting family in US history.
