Marjorie Pickthall's play "The Wood Carver's Wife" betrays a firm bond to a sticky moral sentimentality, and it never quite releases itself from melodrama, as though it ventures into the modernist waters of repression and sublimation but never quite escapes ties from an upright, Victorian sense of property and virtue. However, there seems to be enough evidence to suggest that the play appealed not only to the ambitions of the amateur theater community, but did so because it lent itself to an experimental stagecraft that sought to probe the depths of the psyche through the power of the symbol.
