The New York Times reviewer called the 2007 revival of the play an "elegantly plotted ghost story". He noted, "The play is in many ways a more mature and mournful reworking of themes Barrie explored in the tale of the boy Peter Pan who refused to grow up. Time is seen as a quiet despoiler of happiness and innocence, and the lure of another world unblemished by its passing has an irresistible seduction."Isherwood, Charles. "Theater Review. 'Mary Rose'" The New York Times, February 21, 2007
