Prospero's two servants, Ariel and Caliban, represent his control over the upper elements (air and fire) and the lower elements (earth and water). Ariel being half angel and Caliban half beast, the two constitute the termini of Shakespeare's world of humans. Clayton Corzatte, new to the company, is a model Ariel. He is lithe and clean, with an appositely light and attractive tenor voice (for both speech and song). His nimble and graceful movement, unprecedented on this stage, deserves no less a term than choreography; he performs the notable trick of being delicate and sprightly without ever becoming...

...taught me language," says Caliban to Prospero in Shakespeare's The Tempest, "and my profit on't is, I know how to curse." Between Caliban's curses and nonstop Ariel flights of the liberal imagination, most writing on the Negro problem in America makes highly unprofitable reading, in the view of talented Negro Novelist James (Go Tell It on the Mountain) Baldwin. This sheaf of personal essays, written with bitter clarity and uncommon grace, is an effort to retrieve the Negro from the abstractions of the do-gooders and the no-goods...

Dominating the cast--and perhaps unfortunately so for the play as a whole--were Patricia Leatham and D. J. Sullivan as Ariel and Caliban. Miss Leatham presented not only a remarkable appearance, but the correct mixture of piquancy, wisdom, and authority for her part. Sullivan's passionate interpretation of the monster was so gripping in itself, that it sometimes displaced the attention of the audience from the more important roles...
