What does it mean?

What's the meaning of the last sentence in the following?

A precious perk of playing abroad is exposure to different playwrights. The works of William Inge do not cross the pond often so I was privileged to see a revival here of his 1953 Pulitzer Prize-winning Midwestern drama Picnic. It’s a razor-sharp, feminocentric critique of the American psyche and the quest for happiness and love in conjunction with success and physical beauty; a distilled draught of pure Americana, written with Expressionist clarity. And best of all? It’s set around a porch.

OK. to be more clafified, is the play performed around a porch, which seems the best of all in the eye of the author?
