PBS’s 2003 representation best defines what wilder's vision of his great play was.

Right next to the photo, there is a wooden bunk beds which covered up a quarter of the studio, which is always ready for me to stay.

The house that gives people the chills when they walk by, the one people cross the street to avoid, and the one little children run by and tell stories about. The feeling we get can only be compared to the feeling we have when we drive by a graveyard. Sadness. Eeriness. Yes, that’s my house.
