My recollection is that most of the negative criticism was that the play was not as deep as its trappings might suggest. That's obviously not vilification. Yes there are often folks here who criticize plays for not being what they think they should be rather than what they aspire to be, and that criticism is fairly often not a very good bellweather. But (intentionally or not) vilification seems like a particularly inapt description of the tenor of what has appeared here. My comment was that it was not an entertainment than a serious or important piece of theatre.

I happen to agree with you that it works best as an entertainment and have found over the years that declaring that something is a serious or important piece of theatre usually looks foolish years later.
