...Western frontier gave birth to many American dreams, but none so grand as the vision of uniting sectridden Protestantism into one great Church of Christ. That was the goal of Pennsylvania's Thomas Campbell around the turn of the 19th century, and also of Barton Stone of Kentucky. Out of their evangelical preaching emerged a faith that tried to be not another denomination but a movement to restore the primitive church known by Jesus' followers...
...delegates gathered in Miami Beach for their annual assembly, the International Convention of Christian Churches, as the Disciples style themselves, could claim, with 1,800,000 members, to be one of the nation's largest indigenous religious bodies. But the Disciples still try to live by Barton Stone's belief that sects should "die, be dissolved, and sink into union with the body of Christ at large."

At the same time, they saw in it an important unifying theme-what Director Hall calls "the dilemma of power...
...what one critic called "Shakehall's Henry VI," the emphasis is not on rhetoric but on clarity, with speeches cut to their meaningful core and with action bared to the bone of violence. When writing bridge passages and interpolations, Co-Adapter Barton went back to Shakespeare's own source books-the Chronicles of Holinshed, Hall and Grafton. The Observer's Kenneth Tynan observed that the production "managed to reanimate petrified forests of genealogy so that within half an hour one knows which cousin is on whose uncle's brother's side." Barton, whose past efforts...
