According to academic Richard Fotheringham, "Espinasse’s play is radically different from any other" anout Ned Kelly "and allows Ned to survive and go free; he plans to marry his sweetheart Marion Lee, while Kate Kelly assists his escape by agreeing to marry the only police officer who knows Ned is still alive — if he keeps silent."[6]
